Good Morning to All, I am looking for a cake recipe that was featured on America's Test Kitchen that was frosted with a very rich and creaming icing made with cream cheese and whipped cream. It was really rich and really delicious. Does anyone out there have this recipe? I don't remember the cake which as excellent, but I do remember the icing, it was a perfect match.

Do you at least remember whether the cake was chocolate, plain, carrot, citrus, marbled or any clues to help narrow down the possibilities?

I aw a lot of recipes from cream cheese and whipping cream icing.

The one at America's Test Kitchen was called Miracle Cream Cheese Frosting, I believe.

I saw a cake called Cornmeal Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Strawberries.

I agree with Megan that we need more information on what kind of cake this was.

Good Morning Ladies, I'm thinking it was a white cake, and had fresh strawberries on top of the icing used in between the three layers.

Could it be this one?

cake with strawberries and cream cheese

https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/2983-strawberry-cream-cake

It looks like it has cream cheese in the filling:

8 ounces (227 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup sugar (3 1/2 ounces/99 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon table salt
2 cups heavy cream

When cake has cooled, place cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt in bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Whisk at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down bowl with rubber spatula as needed. Reduce speed to low and add heavy cream in slow, steady stream; when almost fully combined, increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture holds stiff peaks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes more, scraping bowl as needed (you should have about 4 1/2 cups).



I use cream cheese in my cheesecake icing and it is yummy. I remember doing a yoghurt and cream icing on a coconut and lime cake and the sharpness of the yoghurt really worked well against the sweetness of the cake.

Oh good!
It looks like a variant of a Victoria sandwich cake. I suspect you could try it with a bit less sugar in the cream icing for a less rich effect.
