Tips

Prep icing ahead. Use an electric mixer to beat 1⁄2 cup light cream cheese with 2 tbsp butter until smooth. Beat in 1⁄4 tsp vanilla and 1⁄2 cup icing sugar, one spoonful at a time, until smooth. Spread icing on cake. Cover and refrigerate up to 5 days.

Microwaved cake is best eaten the same day it’s made. If baked in the oven, wrap cake well and store in a cool place up to 2 days.
