Frosting:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the cream cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
• To make the cake even more moist, add 1/2 cup of applesauce to the batter.
• Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
