Very Simple Cream Cheese Frosting

This is great for Carrot Cake or Ann's Annual Lamb Cake for Easter

8 oz COLD cream cheese
5 Tbs room temperature real butter
2 Tsp real vanilla (or other flavoring
2 1/2 Cups powdered sugar

In a mixer beat the butter and cream cheese briefly with the vanilla and add the powdered sugar about a third at a time. Don't beat on too high a speed, or the sugar will be all over the place.

Mix until the right consistency, but don't overbeat as it will break down.

Spread on whatever cake you want. Enjoy.
