This is an alternative to the classic recipe that calls for powdered sugar. My husband and I use it to frost fruit cocktail cake. Try it on applesauce cake, spice cake, banana cake, or carrot cake, too.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 8 ounce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, brown sugar, vanilla and almond extract. Beat with an electric mixer. When mixture starts to stiffen, stop mixer and add honey.

  3. 3

    Continue to beat until light and fluffy. Do not over mix, or it will collapse.

  4. 4

    Spread immediately and store cake in refrigerator.
