I love baking from scratch. Nothing is better than food that is truly homemade. Store-bought items just can't compare to the taste and this is so true when it comes to cream cheese frosting. It is sweet, silky and creamy with just a touch of tang. It spreads so nicely and goes perfect with my homemade chocolate cake, a wacky cake, my hot fudge cake or even a white sheet cake! Yum! I always have to frost my cakes right away or else I'll catch my boys eating this frosting by the spoonful until it is all gone!
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
12 oz. cream cheese (1 1/2 blocks)
3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
3/4 c. butter
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1-2 T. milk or evaporated milk (I make my own)
2 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on high with the paddle attachment until the cream cheese is smooth. Then add in the butter and beat until creamy.
Slowly add in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk and salt until well blended.
This makes enough frosting to frost two 9"x13" cakes or around 48 cupcakes.
