Description

Cream Cheese Frosting for Red Velvet Cake

I adjusted this recipe for correct texture.
7 or 8 TBSP compared to 4 1/2 TBSP Butter.
8 oz compared to 6 oz

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 7 tbsps butter, room temperature
  • 8 ozs cream cheese, cold
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Beat the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment.  Mix on medium-slow speed until it comes together and is well mixed.  Add the cream cheese all at once and beat on medium to medium-high until incorporated.  Turn the mixer to medium-high and beat for 5 minutes, or until the frosting becomes light and fluffy.  Do not over-beat as the frosting can quickly become runny.
