Cream Cheese Angel Food Cake Frosting Recipe

Here’s a simple Cream Cheese Angel Food Cake Frosting recipe. For ingredients, you’ll need: 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. To make the frosting, start by placing the softened cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat them together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Next, gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Once all the sugar is added, increase the speed to medium and beat for another minute until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, then mix on medium speed for an additional 1-2 minutes until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. If it’s too thick, add a bit more cream, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Spread the frosting over a cooled angel food cake using a spatula, or pipe it on for a decorative touch. Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let it soften at room temperature before using again. This recipe yields enough to generously frost a standard 10-inch angel food cake. Enjoy!
