Cream Cheese Frosting

Loading...This cream cheese frosting pairs well with any cake. Try changing it up by adding lemon juice or orange juice!
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the cream cheese and butter together until softened. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add half of the powdered sugar and beat on low. Once incorporated, add the remaining powdered sugar and slowly increase the speed to medium. Beat until the frosting is mostly smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix for another 30 seconds.
Top your favorite cake or cupcakes and enjoy!
Notes
- Try not to over-mix the frosting- this could make it runny and hard to use.
- For cupcakes, I recommend refrigerating the frosting for 30 minutes before using.
