  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Stir in the vinegar. The batter will be thin.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
  • Stir in vanilla extract.

Assembly
