products_ph_crmSw_image.jpgHow do you feel about red velvet cake? What exactly makes it so fabulous and scrumptious? If you ask me, it’s the cream cheese frosting. The creamy, sweet, tart and tangy combination is magic in the mouth! Normal buttercream frosting becomes too sweet after a few bites, but I can eat cream cheese frosting for days! Recently, my friend made cupcakes with the best strawberry frosting and told me she used Philly Strawberry cream cheese! This opened up a whole new world of flavored cream cheese frosting. You can use all of these Philly flavors to make delicious frosting: blueberry, pineapple, honey nut, raspberry, peaches n’cream or Sugar n’ Cinnamon Spice. Here are two recipes you can make with flavored cream cheese instead of plain.

Classic Philadelphia Cream Cheese Frosting

1 pkg.(8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened (replace with flavored cream cheese)

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened

1 tsp. vanilla

1 pkg.  (16 oz.) powdered sugar (about 4 cups), sifted

BEAT cream cheese, butter and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.

ADD sugar gradually, beating until well blended after each addition.

Banana-Sour Cream Cake

1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix

3   eggs

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)

1 cup  BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

1/4 cup oil

1 pkg.  (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened (replace with strawberry or raspberry cream cheese)

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

1 pkg.  (16 oz.) powdered sugar (about 4 cups)

1 cup PLANTERS Walnut Pieces, finely chopped

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 13x9-inch baking pan; set aside. Beat cake mix, eggs, bananas, sour cream and oil in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, stopping frequently to scrape bottom and side of bowl. Beat on medium speed 2 min. Pour into prepared pan.

BAKE 35 min. or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

BEAT cream cheese and butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition.

REMOVE cake from pan; cut crosswise in half. Place one cake half, top-side down, on large serving plate; spread top with frosting. Top with remaining cake half, top side up. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Carefully press walnuts into frosting on sides of cake. Store in refrigerator.
