Cream Cheese Frosting
It doesn't get much better than classic cream cheese frosting. Serve with Hummingbird Cake.
How to Make It
Beat cream cheese and butter at medium-low speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating at low speed until blended. Stir in vanilla. Increase speed to medium-high,and beat 1 to 2 minutes or until fluffy.

3 T of butter? It calls for a cup....I already put it in the mixing bowl with the cream cheese I hope it turns out ok.
video & written recipe differ
I watched the video, and it showed 8oz of cream cheese and 16oz of powdered sugar for the frosting. I finallyfound the recipe on the southern living website....the written recipe...and it said, 2 pkgs of cream cheese, 8 oz each and two 16 oz pkgs of powdered sugar. Well, I had already been to the store and purchased by what the video said! I live several miles from a store....so cake is done, and I don't have enough for the frosting!
love the frosting
I always adjust the butter. I used 3T butter, 1 1/2 or 12 oz. Cream cheese & 2cups powdered sugar. It wasn't runny, great as filling and and so creamy.

Great taste, but for a creamier, thicker frosting I recommend decreasing the butter by half. I have used as little as 2-3 tablespoons successfully.

Tastes great but not good for a layer cake. NOT fluffy, very runny.

Very good taste. Is not a fluffy frosting, so it will work best on a sheet cake. I don't recommend for a layer cake.
