Cream Cheese Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients in medium bowl until smooth. Frost cooled cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.
This cake is decidedly better the second day, because the flavors develop and the frosting thickens. This is my Grandmother's classic carrot cake recipe.Bundt cakes are the bomb. Go ahead and add copious amounts of cream cheese piped in the middle and top.
