I love it, I just leave the vanilla extract out I do not like the taste and very one that has eaten my carrot cake love it and the frosting. SARA I have used many different type of confectioners sugar they are either too sweet or taste bad.The only one that use is Imperial brand powdered sugar in the bag not the box and u MUST SIFTED the confectioners' sugar or it will not taste good

Am I the only one who finds the taste of powdered sugar comparable to that of laundry detergent? I tried this recipe hoping the cream cheese would drown out the taste I don't like in confectioners sugar. I was disappointed. Still rating this recipe high because it had a nice consistency and my disappointment is a *personal* distaste for confectioners sugar. I used Dominos. Maybe I should try a different brand.
