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!

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

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.
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.
This can be used immediately on cooled cakes, cupcakes, bars, squares, or warm cinnamon rolls. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
