As we continue to live through these unusual and difficult times, here is another simple recipe for you all – my cream cheese frosting.
When it comes to frosting, this is one of my favourites. It is a versatile icing mainly used with carrot cake and red velvet cakes it pairs extremely well with chocolate cake too.
While making this recipe, the cream cheese I usually use is from La Cremella or Britannia. Both are available on Big Basket most of the times. Try to use seeds of a vanilla bean for this recipe if possible, the tiny specs of black through the white icing looks beautiful.
