Cup of Yum
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Beat the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and mix well.
Notes
- NOTE: The cake will become quite brown as it bakes. It should be a deep golden brown, similar to the color of baked banana bread.
