For the Frosting: Bring the cream cheese and powdered sugar to room temperature. Cream together the soft butter and powdered sugar with the paddle attachment of an electric mixer until there are no butter lumps (you won’t be able to get rid of the lumps later on).

Add the softened cream cheese to the butter and powdered sugar and mix just until the frosting becomes fully homogeneous. I’ve found that mixing it for too long will result in the cream cheese becoming a little bit grainy.
