  • Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix. DO NOT OVERMIX.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. An insert should come out with a few small crumbs. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes then transfer to the cooling rack.

How To Make The Frosting

  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
    1 block Cream cheese
