Absolutely delish!! I like to put Aunt Darlene’s Cream Cheese Frosting on Tennessee Hummingbird Cake. The pecans and coconut are a perfect companion for the bananas and pineapple in the hummingbird cake. It totally sets that cake off.
It’s a delicious frosting on any cake though. It’s really nice on a Red Velvet cake especially if you tint the frosting red using food coloring.
It’s also really nice on Carrot Cake. But then, like I said, it’s good on most any cake!
Give it a try!
