Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla
1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 lb. confectioners’ sugar [about 3-1/2 cups]
Beat all ingredients until smooth.
Mame's note: I have whipped heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks and folded it into the Cream Cheese Icing and it was awesome. Sorry I didn't measure, I just winged it; but the consistency is not meant for decorating as it is much too thin. But OH so YUMMO!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the cake recipe. I love carrot cake. Your Hibiscus flowers on the cake are amazing. Is there a tutorial for those?
ReplyDeletelove your flowers :)
ReplyDeleteHi, the baking instructions were displayed as symbols, so I copy n pasted it into notepad to find out what it said.. but I still thought I'd let you know that something may have gone wrong with the font or the html or something. Bye!
ReplyDelete...as for the cake instructions, they are listed with the groups of ingredients - it's really a basic recipe...what is missing from the recipe is baking at 350° for about 35-40 minutes -depending on your oven...I also used 3-9" round pans/recipe...hope that helps...Mame
ReplyDeleteMisbah...thank-you for the compliment on my flowers...the flowers are not really a specific flower, it's just something I created, but it does look kind of tropical...thanks, Mame
ReplyDeleteI edited the tutorial to reformat the baking temp and time.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if there is still a problem.
