Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
The amounts stated will cover top, side and middle layer of two 9-inch layer cakes
Notes from our test kitchen; for a darker red color add in a few drops of red food coloring, for a lighter creamier frosting mix in 1/2 cup or more thawed Cool Whip frozen topping after mixing the frosting
INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed (enough to yield 1/4 cup puree)
1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
7 cups confectioners sugar, sifted (must be sifted to remove all small lumps)
INSTRUCTIONS:—————————————–
In a large bowl beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add in 1/4 cup of the strawberry puree and the strawberry extract.
Gradually add confectioners sugar, beating until smooth.
Spread frosting onto cooled layer cake.

I made this icing to go along with the Strawberry cake recipe. What an excellent icing to go along with the cake! I do think though, that I might try a little less confec. sugar because it was so rich, that I couldn’t finish the piece of cake, lol..
