Cream Cheese Frosting

I've been using this cream cheese frosting recipe on my bundt cakes and sheet cakes regularly. I especially love it on carrot cake and banana bread / cake or cupcakes. You could also use it to frost cinnamon rolls! 

This recipe is adapted from Baked by an Introvert. I cut the recipe in half and left out the orange zest. This is enough for a good layer of frosting on one bundt cake.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 8oz package cream cheese, softened (full fat - brick form)
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon meringue powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
Directions
  1. Whip the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.  Use a large bowl so the sugar doesn't fly everywhere when you add it.
  2. Add sugar, meringue powder, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low to combine (so you don't make a mess), then on high until the frosting is fluffy. 
  3. This can be used immediately on cooled cakes, cupcakes, bars, squares, or warm cinnamon rolls. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
