Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour your cake pans.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for around 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before removing it from the pans.

Frosting Preparation

For the frosting, choose between buttercream or cream cheese. Beat the powdered sugar, butter (or cream cheese), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
