Ingredients
1boxCarrot Cake Mix
1cupCandied Walnutssee recipe link
1pkgCream Cheese (8oz)softened
1cupButtersoftened
3cupsPowdered Sugar
Instructions
Prepare and bake Cake Mix as per instructions on the box (see notes about pan sizes in post)
In a stand mixer (or with hand mixer) beat together cream cheese and butter until soft and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and mix until smooth (may not need all the sugar)
If you find you icing is too thick you can add milk in 1 tsp increments until it reaches a creamy consistency (it shouldn't fall off the whisk)
Allow cake to cool completely
Assemble in chosen dish in the following order:
Cake - 1/2 of the icing - 1/2 c walnuts and repeat. If you have any extra cake (I cut the tops of the cake to make it flat for layering) you can crumble on top like I did!
