Cream the cream cheese and butter. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Frost cooled cake. May be prepared several days ahead. Keeps a week in refrigerator. Will freeze. This is a very rich cake. The recipe was given to me by a doctor’s wife from Texas. I have never tried, but I understand 2 cups of baby food carrots works just as well.
