If you’re looking for some insanely delicious cream cheese frosting, look no more. This is the stuff. 

We spent summers in Tennessee on my grandparent’s farm, and we were lucky enough to be blessed with a grandma that loved to cook. 

She made a mean angel food cake with cream cheese frosting. Typically, she made us pies, because well, who wouldn’t want pie after every meal–including breakfast. 

Ok, so she didn’t let us have pie after breakfast, but we tried. Oh, and when she would get the pie out to cut a slice after dinner, it would mysteriously be half-eaten. Weird, I know. 

So, back to the frosting.

When the church would have a potluck, or she would get a hankering to make us cake, she ended up making angel food cake with cream cheese frosting. O-M-Gosh. Seriously. 

And the great thing about this frosting is that you can use it for a lot of different types of cakes. I’ve used it on pound cake and it turned out amazing. 

You can also add cocoa, or other ingredients to create chocolate frosting or something else. It’s pretty versatile, but every time delicious.
