Butter Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

• 250g  butter
• 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 4 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups plain flour, sifted
• 3/4 cup milk

Cream Cheese frosting:

• 150 gm cream cheese
• 250gm butter
• 1 cups  icing sugar
• 1/4 cup whip cream

Use an electric beater to beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until  creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Use a large metal spoon to fold the  flour and the milk into the butter mixture until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes to cool slightly before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the  cream cheese icing, use an electric beater to beat the butter and cheese until pale and creamy. Gradually add the icing sugar and beat until well combined. Gradually add the whip cream and beat until light and fluffy.
Spread icing over the cake to serve.
