This frosting is great for a refrigerator cake. Frosting sets up nicely.
- 1 stick butter
- 1 - 8 oz. block cream cheese
- 1 box confectioners sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 - 2 teaspoons milk
- Soften butter and cream cheese to room temperature.
- Cream together in electric mixer.
- Add vanilla while continuing to mix.
- Add confectioners sugar, alternating with milk till smooth and of the right consistency for spreading on a cake.
- More or less milk may be needed, depending on climate and temperature. Sit bowl of frosting in the refrigerator for 15 - 20 minutes if needed to thicken more. This frosting is wonderful on Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Yellow Cake!

I love butter cream frosting...gotta try this recipe today! I need to find a great desert for the holidays instead of the traditional stuff like pumpkin pie! Would it work on Red Velvet Cake? I love Red Velvet Cake!!

A box of confectioner's sugar is usually 16oz/1lb.

I want to make this frosting but I don't know how much is in a box of powdered sugar. One cup?

I've rated this a 4 only because of the instructions. How much P.S. in a box? It is not available in box here.
