Instructions

30 to 45 minutes before baking, take out the eggs to warm up. Also, pull out the cream cheese and butter to soften for the frosting.
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13 aluminum baking pan for even baking.

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter.
Using aluminum pans helps the cake bake evenly and in less time.
Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
