Cream Cheese Frosting

This is the frosting I put on the Carrot Cake, Pumpkin Cake, and sometimes on Carrot Zucchini Muffins, but it would also go well with red velvet cake. I would double this for a 4-layer cake or if you really love icing.

Total time: 5 minutes. Covers one 2-layer carrot cake, or one batch of muffins.

Materials: Small mixing bowl; beaters. Missing materials or ingredients? Look here.

Instructions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, whip together 4 oz cream cheese, 3 tbsp softened butter, 3 tbsp apple sauce, and dash of vanilla.
2. Add ½ cup coconut flakes and beat in slowly 1 cup confectioner’s sugar.
3. Frosting can be spread onto cake immediately or refrigerated. If refrigerating, give it another whip right before spreading.
