  11. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed until combined, and then increase mixer speed to medium.
  12. Beat until batter is very smooth, about 5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  13. Sift the flour (for gluten-free try Bob's Red Mill flour used by Disney) into the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined.
