CLASSIC CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This classic frosting couldn't be easier to make and is a must for finishing red velvet and carrot cakes (or a batch of cupcakes). Using vanilla bean paste gives it a pretty speckled look, but if you don't have it on hand, pure vanilla extract will lend the same flavor.

Steps:
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla bean paste and salt. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in powdered sugar. Increase speed to high and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Do Ahead
- Frosting can be made 5 days ahead; chill, or freeze up to 1 month. Bring to room temperature, then beat with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. If texture is not smooth, beat in water 1 tsp. at a time.
