But my cream cheese frosting was runny and a little yellowish. Figured I put in more than 50g butter or the 2-3 tsp of milk was too much. What do you think?CHELSEA: Hi there, if you beat the butter (softened, not melted) with the cream cheese until pale, the icing shouldn't be yellow. We recommend slowly adding the milk, mixing in just enough to give a light, fluffy consistency., approved=true, user_name=Anne, hs_createdate=1702249859625, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175342862}, {comment_text=Awesome yummy and simple recipe.

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C bake.
For a single layer cake, use a 23-24cm round cake tin (at least 6cm deep). For a double layer cake, use 2 x 20-21cm round cake tins. Grease the tin/s and line with baking paper.

Beat eggs and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together. Stir in oil, then add all other ingredients. Mix well. Pour into prepared tin/s.

Bake for 45 minutes (2 cake layers) or 55 minutes (single layer cake), until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in the tin/s for 20 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Spread with cream cheese icing when cold.

Cream Cheese Icing
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add Chelsea Icing Sugar, vanilla and sufficient milk to make a light fluffy icing consistency. Spread over cake/s (sandwiching layers together if applicable) and decorate with chopped nuts if desired.
