Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the softened butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
3. Once all the powdered sugar is combined, add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
4. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip the frosting for 2-3 minutes until it is light, fluffy, and perfectly smooth.
5. Taste the frosting and adjust the cinnamon or vanilla, if desired, to better suit your preference.
6. If the frosting is too thick, add additional heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
7. Use immediately to frost a medieval-style wedding cake or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
