I made this cream cheese frosting for carrot cake. The amount of powdered sugar called way too much. Instead 4 cups, I added just one, and even that made it too sweet for someone who may be diabetic. I then added a bit more cream cheese, as well as about 2 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, which helped if I make again I would start with a quarter cup of butter, sugar, and maybe add one more quarter cup if needed, we liked the lemon juice as it added a bit of brightness to the taste, I also refrigerated the frosting until the cake had cooled enough, and that helped a lot with spreadability.

In reply to Mary M.. Cream, is a cooking term. You are mixing the cream cheese and butter together until they are light and creamy, totally mixed together.

My friends and I were obsessed with this frosting. It’s super sweet- perfect for the carrot cake I made for my friend’s birthday.

Amazing frosting! My go to cream cheese frosting, especially paired with the cinnamon roll recipe.

I add my powdered sugar in a big heaping tablespoon at a time so it’s easy to combine and sweetened to taste. I will also add a tablespoon or 2 of water to adjust consistency. Seriously the best, can’t go wrong with this ingredient combination.

Thank you!

I think it’s the term to whip not the ingredient “cream” that confused you. Mine turned out awesome!

You say cream in the cooking directions and there’s no cream on the ingredients. You also don’t indicate how high to fill in the pan.
