Ingredients

  • 1 stick ½ cup butter, softened
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 7 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Add the softened butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until combined and fluffy– about 2 minutes. 
  • Next add the jam and vanilla. Mix to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. The mixture may look wet or curdled– that’s okay! 
  • With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar. 
  • Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, turn the mixer to medium speed and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy– about 1 minute. 
  • Frost your cakes as desired– this recipe makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes or a two-layer 8” cake.
