Easy Cream Cheese Icing

Here's the icing to go with the cake recipe! It's not too sweet and not too cream cheese-y (if you are making a carrot or banana cake and want a strong cream cheese flavour, increase the amount to a full package!)

(p.s. I can full on admit that this recipe is not healthy in terms of calories, but it's another example of a "healthier" alternative to store-bought icing. Cooking and baking from scratch doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming. What it DOES do is save your body from all the chemicals found in pre-packaged food).

Easy Cream Cheese Icing

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 package cream cheese
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup icing sugar

1. Cream butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes on high speed)
2. Add in vanilla and icing sugar, and continue combining another 3-4 minutes. If it's not fluffy, keep on mixing!
3. Enjoy on a cake, or right off the spoon!
