This is how my mother has always made cream cheese frosting for red velvet cake and spice cake..it's super simple and inexpensive to make. And it tastes sooo much better than store-bought! You can reduce fat a bit by using a reduced fat cream cheese and margarine, but don't sub the vanilla for imitation - it just isn't the same!
Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (10 ounce) bag powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter
Directions:
1. Combine cream cheese, butter/margarine, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl; mix until light.
2. Add powdered sugar slowly, continue mixing until well blended.
3. Ice cake, cupcakes, etc - enjoy!
