To prove her point, Byrn offers more than 175 recipes for mix-based cakes and other desserts

I first tasted a chocolate cream cheese frosting at the Tennessee State Fair about five years ago. It was a revelation-chocolate and cream cheese were natural partners! Since then, I flavor this frosting with pure almond extract if I'm making a chocolate almond cake or with pure vanilla extract for a buttermilk devil's food cake, a yellow layer cake, or brownies.

Makes: 4 cups, enough to frost a 2- or 3-layer cake
Preparation time: 10 minutes

• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, at room temperature

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 teaspoon pure almond extract or pure vanilla extract

• 4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

1. Place the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until combined, 30 seconds. Stop the machine. Add the cocoa powder, extract, and confectioners' sugar and blend with the mixer on low speed until the ingredients are moistened, 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the frosting is

2. fluffy, 2 minutes more.

3. Use at once to frost the top and sides of the cake of your choice

RX - The Cake Doctor says...
When you fork into a cake that has been deliciously enrobed with this
frosting, the cake world is your oyster. It's the one to always keep in mind.
