Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

  1. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  2. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk to reach the desired consistency.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

  1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting on top.
  2. Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides evenly.
  3. Decorate with sprinkles, fresh fruit, or nuts as desired.
