(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.
