I was at Aldi one day and picked up a Bakers Corner brand Deluxe Moist Devil's Food Cake Mix. I cooked it per box instructions (adding 3 eggs, some oil, and water) at 325 degrees for close to an hour. I baked the cake the night before a party. Also the night before, I removed an 8oz container of cream cheese and a stick of butter from the fridge to become room temperature by morning.
Materials
Aldi's Bakers Corner Brand Cake Mix (chocolate...mmm)
3 eggs
Water
Oil
Frosting Ingredients
8oz can cream cheese (use around 6oz)
6tbps butter (almost the entire stick)
1-2 cups powdered sugar
2tsp milk
Bake cake. Let cool completely. Mix cream cheese and butter with a whisk until smooth. Add milk and powdered sugar. Mix until frosting becomes slightly firm but still smooth. Pour onto cake and smooth out. I frosted the cake a few minutes after guests arrived and by the time we got to dessert, it had settled nicely onto the cake. The homemade factor played a huge role because the cake was from a box and the frosting was a lot more enjoyable than something out of a can. Props to Sal for Google-ing a last minute recipe for me. She said that the powdered sugar amount you use shouldn't depend on the recipe but how sugary you want the frosting to be.
wow i never thought home made frosting could be that easy to make!!! the sour cream sounds different, i never knew frosting had sour cream in it. ill def be trying this!
