Cream Cheese Frosting

This cream cheese frosting has just a hint of citrus flavor and always comes out perfectly. Especially good for any cakes with fruit in them, such as apple or carrot, but I use this frosting for anything I feel like icing as well!

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 1 cake

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
