Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease two 9” round baking pans (or one 9×13” baking pan.

While the cake is cooling, to make the cream cheese frosting- In a medium bowl cream the cream cheese and butter until creamy.

Questions, Comments & Reviews


WOW This looks delicious, can´t wait to try this out. But have you tried it with a Chocolate Ganache instead of the Cream Cheese Frosting? Was wondering if that wouldn´t be good too.
