Notes

Wrap the cake in plastic wrap or cover with a cake dome to store in the fridge for 4-5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cake wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Tips: Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature. Avoid overmixing once the dry ingredients are added. Check oven accuracy for even baking.
