Betty's Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Cream Cheese Frosting. I made this to go on a Red Velvet Cake, but it is a natural for Carrot Cake, and almost any type of cake or cupcake that needs icing. This recipe makes a generous amout of frosting. I used it to frost a 4-layer cake, so if you have only a 2-layer cake, you can divide all ingredients in half.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
(2) 8-oz. blocks of cream cheese, at room temperature
2 pounds (32 oz.) confectioner's sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a *large* bowl, use a fork to mash 1 cup butter and (2) 8-oz. blocks of cream cheese together. Then, use an electric mixer to beat thoroughly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract. Add 2 pounds of confectioner's sugar, a little at a time. Stir in each addition, and then beat it with a mixer. Continue until all of the 2 pounds of confectioner's sugar is incorporated into the frosting mixture. Beat the entire mixture, until it is very smooth. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a couple of hours before spreading it on a cooled cake or on cupcakes. This is one of the most delicious and versatile frostings that you can find! I hope you enjoy it! --Betty :)

Hi, Betty

I just wanted to tell you that I just made some cream cheese frosting for my sisters birthday cake. Your recipe worked! it came out tasting just right thank you so much ! :)

@Silkenrain I try to use fat-free ingredients when they do not lessen the quality of the food. Artificial butter just doesn't work right in this recipe, and I never sacrifice flavor or texture with a substitution. My philosophy is that you should save every calorie that you can, even if it is in a dish that is naturally rich. This has always helped me stay at the weight I want. Other people don't like to use fat-free ingredients, and that's fine--just use what works for you!
