    2. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the top, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    3. Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Frosting Preparation:

  1. Cream Together: Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy.
  2. Final Touches: Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, adding milk as needed for the right consistency.
  3. Frost and Enjoy: Spread the frosting over the cooled cake, slice, and serve!
