Step-by-Step instructions to Cake Bliss:
1. Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Cream Cheese Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Dry Ingredients Dance: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Frost: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Cream Cheese Frosting Finale: While the cake cools, prepare the decadent cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
7. Frost with Love: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the luscious cream cheese frosting generously over the top and sides of the cake. Feel free to get creative with decorative swirls or patterns.
