ALMOST CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Carrot cake without cream cheese frosting just isn't carrot cake. Due to an allergy to vegetable gum (xanthan gum), cream cheese is out of the question and mascarpone cheese is just too expensive. I needed to come up with a sub because the frosting in the can isn't that good. This recipe uses laughing cow cheese wedges and buttermilk to replace the cream cheese in the traditional recipe.
