Cream Cheese Frosting

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 1 pound cream cheese, softened
• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluff

I got this recipe from Paula Deen at Food Network.  This makes a large amount of frosting.  To frost a 9 X 13 cake, I only make half the recipe.
