Strawberry (Jam!) Cream Cheese Frosting

This foolproof frosting keeps it simple. While very sweet, it’s just the thing to balance the natural flavor of a homestyle scratch cake recipe. I used it the first time to lighten up a cake made with a heavy whole grain white flour. Uh-mazing!

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
