Use 8oz cream cheese at room temperature. Also, 6 tablespoons real butter( unsalted) at room temp also. Combine both of those into large bowl. Add 1 tsp vanilla. Mix it well. Add 4 cups of powdered sugar and use a hand mixer to mix well. You can also slowly add ( 1 tsp at a time) milk to bring to desired consistency. You want it thick but spreadable. you can also use more powdered sugar if want a bigger batch of frosting. Just add cup at a time and then use tiny amounts of milk while mixing to obtain desired consistency. Depending on what type cake your making - dont be afraid to add things like zest of a lemon and squeeze a bit of juice into frosting. Can use orange also. I make a great banana cake and use this recipe and add 1 tsp lemon juice and zest entire lemon into frosting as mixing OR can zest on top when cake complete....
