  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes cool, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth; gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  9. Once completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  10. Slice and enjoy!
