Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream Cheese Frosting
This is a basic, but tasty, cream cheese frosting, this is my go-to frosting.
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cream cheese, this is one regular block, (8 oz)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon sour cream, Shortcut
- 2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, butter, and sour cream to a mixing bowl and allow the butter to come to room temperature.
- Cream together with an electric mixer.
- Add half the powdered sugar, beat until the mixture is free of lumps, then add remaining sugar and mix until smooth and free of lumps. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. You may need to mix just a bit more powdered sugar to get the consistency you desire.
- This will easily frost a 9x13 cake, a 9 inch layer cake, or 24 cupcakes. Only frost when the cakes are completely cooled.
Notes
This is low cost per serving.
I would not make the sour cream if just making this, just plan this this around sour cream you have made and available.
