Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you're using an 8x8 pan the baking time will be closer to ⏱️ 25 minutes. An 8.5x11 pan should be done closer to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Cool the cake completely before topping with frosting.

For the frosting:

Beat cream cheese and butter until combined. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy. Using a butter knife or an offset spatula, spread the frosting all over the top of the cooled cake.
