Cream Cheese Frosting

Makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes or a 2-layer 8"/9" cake

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c butter (8 TB / 1 stick), softened

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 salt

• 4 c powdered sugar (500 g)

Directions:

1. Combine butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until creamy, well-combined, and lump-free.

2. Add the vanilla and salt. Stir well to combine.

3. With mixer on low, gradually add the powdered sugar until completely combined.

4. Use immediately or refrigerate until needed. This frosting can be piped or spread.
