Answer 4

I've made a red velvet cake from scratch with two different recipes and to tell the truth--Duncan Hines tastes just as good with less hassles. Here's a good cream cheese frosting recipe:

pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened

1 tsp. vanilla

1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar (about 4 cups), sifted


BEAT cream cheese, butter and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.

ADD sugar gradually, beating until well blended after each addition.

Frost your cake and top with chopped pecans.
