I'm sure there's lots of you out there who are starting the new year with healthy eating goals or maybe even a weight loss plan and here I am posting a recipe for cake frosting. Its a good one though ...so good I wanted to share it and if you are one of those people focusing on healthy eating the beginning of the year just bookmark this one for later because I promise you will like it!
This frosting is a cross between a butter cream frosting and a cream cheese frosting so it gets the best of both worlds without being too sweet or too cream-cheesy. I hosted a lunch on Monday at my house to celebrate my mom's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!! I kept the lunch light with Italian Wedding Soup and a garden salad so I could finish things off with birthday cake. The cake was a white cake with seedless raspberry jam between the layers and topped with cream cheese frosting. I think the frosting was what made the cake so delicious. Here's the recipe ...
KATH'S CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
INGREDIENTS
2 sticks butter (1 cup), room temperature
1 package cream cheese (8 oz), room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter until fluffy 2-3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and vanilla and continue to beat for an additional 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar, mix until combined. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat for another 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
