SaveSummary
This classic frosting couldn’t be easier to make and is a must for finishing red velvet and carrot cakes (or a batch of cupcakes). Using vanilla bean paste gives it a pretty speckled look, but if you don’t have it on hand, pure vanilla extract will lend the same flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 (8-ounce packages) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/3 cups powdered sugar
