Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a round or square cake pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth and creamy.
6. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Frosting

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

1. Spread the cream frosting evenly over the cooled cake, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
2. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
