Perfect Cream Cheese Frosting

• Mmmm. If your making a cake that needs a firmer cream cheese frosting this is the tastiest I've had. My first choice would be the whipped cream cheese frosting, but this definitely takes second place.
• 
  
• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 1/2 cups icing sugar
• 
  
• Cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
• Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Add icing sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high speed until frosting is smooth.
• Spread on cooled cake.
