Notes

Tips: Make sure your butter and cream cheese are softened before using them. Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the dry ingredients are combined. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze without frosting for up to 3 months.
