typical cream cheese frosting has 2 cups of conf. sugar

1/4 cup butter
1 package cream cheese, room temperatur
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla

I use a pound of confectioners' sugar for each 8 1/2 inch, 2-layer cake. So if you have only one layer, half that much will do, and will be that much richer with all the cream cheese:

Hint for frosting: put the cake in the freezer for about 10 minutes before frosting.

I think most recipes call for 16 oz cream cheese and 2 cups of con. sugar. So, just cut it in half. 1 cup per 8 oz of cream cheese.
I added the link to the recipe.

2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
16 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 cup softened butter
1 tsp vanilla

idk... but try real suger. :)

1 cup powder sugar,1/2 t vanilla and 1/4 cup butter to every 8 oz of cream cheese....but you can adjust to taste

I'd cut this in half for such a small cake.
