Add the cream or milk as needed. Beat on high speed for 2 - 3 minutes, or until a light whipped consistency. If it is too runny, add more sugar - if it is too stiff, add more cream.

Personal Notes:
This cake tastes almost exactly like the Sara Lee cake that I used to love. I altered a recipe I found online to make it my own. The frosting that was recommended was a cream cheese frosting but my frosting really captures that taste from the past. It is best refrigerated and may be frozen
