To go with Mom's Favorite Hummingbird Cake or any recipe. Super yummy and easy. Ingredients:
8 ounces neufchatel cheese, at room temperature |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (not margarine) |
1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar, sifted (4 1/2 cups) |
1 -2 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a small bown, with an electric mixer on high, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Turn the speed to medium and gradually beat in the sugar, about 1 cup at a time, just until blended and fluffy. Do not overbeat, as the frosting can become too soft.
2. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon rind. Makes about 3 cups or enough to fill and frost a 3-layer, 9-inch round cake, a 13 x 9 x 2 oblong cake, or 2 1/2 dozen regular-size cupcakes.
