Lime & Cream Cheese Frosting

Submitted by TheRedneckHippie

"This goes absolutely PERFECTLY with Mexican Chocolate Cake (Recipe # 69917). The cream cheese compliments the chocolate very well, while the tang of the lime ever so slightly cools off the cayenne. Apparently everyone at work thinks so, too - February's birthday cakes (a tripling of the cake recipe smothered in this frosting) were gone in a few hours."
