Leigh and Michael love to make cream-cheese frosting.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In my last post, a recipe for carrot cake<\/a>, I\u00a0suggested that\u00a0readers\u00a0top\u00a0the cake with\u00a0cream-cheese frosting. In the middle of the night I realized that although I have mentioned cream-cheese frosting\u00a0several times on this blog I have never actually shared a recipe for it.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Here is a list of other cakes for which I recommended the icing.\u00a0I obviously like it A LOT.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Wacky Cake<\/a>
\nCider Cake<\/a>
\nMessy But Good Birthday Cake (a.k.a. Apple Chocolate Cake)<\/a>
\nZucchini Cake<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I apologize! Here, belatedly, is my basic formula for cream-cheese frosting. As you can see, it couldn\u2019t be easier! Please let me know if you find any other omissions in my writing\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cream-Cheese Frosting<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Ingredients:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
1 8-ounce brick cream cheese at room temperature
\n1\/2 cup (1 stick) sweet butter at room temperature
\nconfectioner\u2019s sugar to taste (start with about 2 cups)
\n2 teaspoons vanilla<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Instructions:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Cream together the cream cheese and butter; then stir in the 2 cups of confectioner\u2019s sugar and add more until the flavor seems right to you.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Don\u2019t add too much sugar; the delight of this icing is the ever so slightly tart, creamy taste of the cheese.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Beat in the vanilla, and spread the icing over your cake. Frosts 1 9-by-13 pan or 1 10-inch bundt pan.<\/span><\/span>
