3 large eggs or 4 medium eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter: This will help to ensure that the flour is evenly distributed and will prevent the cake from being lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
