Fast and Easy Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
"[Photograph: Vicky Wasik. Video: Natalie Holt] This silky frosting is fluffy and light, but thick enough to hold its shape for days when piped over cupcakes in generous swirls. It's tangy and fresh, like pure cream cheese with just a hint of vanilla. Even better, it takes only about 10 minutes to prepare. If you like, the recipe can be safely doubled, or even tripled.
