Cream Cheese Frosting

(this frosting isn’t overly cream cheese flavored.  it’s just the right amount of tang for the red velvet cupcakes & would also be a great cinnamon roll frosting.  see sticky bun recipe to make cinnamon rolls.  just omit the butter & brown sugar topping & you will have cinnamon rolls!)

1 1/2 sticks butter softened

4 cups powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla

8 oz of light cream cheese

cream the butter & sugar until completely combined & fluffy, adding the sugar in portions so it doesn’t fly everywhere.  add the vanilla.  add the cream cheese in 6-8 portions allowing each to fully incorporate.  beat until smooth & fluffy.  chill if not using immediately.
