Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on this delightful cake! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I like to prepare my baking pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper. This little trick helps ensure that the cake comes out beautifully without sticking. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy. You’ll really enjoy the aroma of this mix—it’s such a comforting scent! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
