Super Cheesy Cream Cheese Frosting

This is hard core Cream Cheese Frosting.  If you like that tang in your frosting, you'll love this!

Super Cheesy Cream Cheese Frosting
Recipe from Allrecipes.com, adapted by hollidaisy

2 blocks Cream Cheese
1 stick butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

You don't want the cream cheese or butter to be too soft, but just barely at room temperature if you plan on piping it at all.  Otherwise it won't hold a shape.

Beat it all together for about 5 minutes on high.  Try not to eat it all before it makes to your cake. :)

Strawberry Dream Cake

My husband's birthday is coming up and last year I made him this cake that he absolutely loved.  I got the recipe from Allrecipes.com and made a few tweeks.  I'm thinking of making it again this year with a few surprises up my sleeve.  I wanted to get the recipe up so its quick and easy to find.  I'll do an additional post with my additions.

Strawberry Dream Cake
1 white cake mix
1 1/2 cups strawberries, sugared & pureed
8 oz strawberry cream cheese spread
3 eggs
2 Tbsp oil
8 oz white chocolate
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 pint sliced strawberries

Preheat oven to 350.  Prepare two 9" round cake pans.

Mix cake mix as instructed, replacing water with pureed strawberries (my cake mix uses 3 eggs and 2 Tbsp oil~if yours only calls for 2 eggs use 3 anyway).  Beat in the cream cheese as well.  Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden (the toothpick test won't work since its such a dense, moist cake).  Let cake cool completely before frosting.


To make frosting: Heat 1 cup whipping cream on stove top until frothy.  Pour over white chocolate and cream cheese, stirring until smooth.  Let chill.  Beat whipping cream in chilled bowl with sugar until stiff peaks form.  When white chocolate/cream mixture is cool gently fold into whipped cream and use to frost cake.  Garnish with sliced strawberries.
