  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread cream cheese frosting between the layers and on top of the cake.
  10. Decorate as desired and serve.
