And, if you prefer a tangier frosting, start by adding just 1⅓ cups powdered sugar, then taste the mixture before adding more.
The tapioca does a better job of helping to thicken the frosting. Look for a confectioners’ sugar made with tapioca starch instead of cornstarch (check the ingredients). This is not a time to swap out full-fat cream cheese for a low-fat alternative or use anything but powdered sugar. (If you go the second route, wrap a large dish towel into a ring shape around the base of a mixing bowl to help it stay in place.) Another bonus: The ingredient list is short and sweet. A stand mixer with a paddle attachment works well, but a handheld mixer will also do fine. This recipe requires almost no special equipment. In fact, this baker’s essential is so easy and versatile, it’s sure to become your new favorite frosting. Homemade cream cheese frosting can add a pleasantly sweet and tangy note to almost any cupcake or layer cake recipe, even one that calls for buttercream frosting-including this Double Banana Cake, which comes highly recommended (by us). Too often, this easy frosting is pigeon-holed, and we aim to change that here and now.
Taste, then add another pinch of salt if desired. Add 1 more Tablespoon of milk to slightly thin out, if desired. Let us clear something up: Classic cream cheese frosting recipes like this one aren’t just for topping carrot cakes, cinnamon rolls, or red velvet cakes. Add the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, 1 Tablespoon milk, and salt and beat on medium-high speed until combined and creamy.
