Bring to room temperature before spreading if chilled.
Add a touch of lemon juice for brightness or a drizzle of maple syrup for warmth.
Keeps up to five days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
For a stiffer texture, add a little more icing sugar.
Pairs beautifully with carrot cake, spice cake, or banana loaf.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Cream Cheese Frosting
Anthology of Crumbs
Every baker keeps one frosting that feels like home. This is the one that softens easily on the beater, turns to silk beneath a spoon, and drapes the cake in quiet sweetness. Cream cheese lends depth, butter gives body, and icing sugar brings the light that makes it shine.
