Homemade Vanilla Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

 P. Huguette (Massachusetts) says:
This cake came out so moist, I will make it again. However, the cream cheese recipe did NOT come out so good for me. I had to add many cups of confectioner's sugar to give a decent consistency and then, it was also delicious. My other comment is that the recipe goes into TWO 9-inch square pans and not one. Other than that, everything came out really, really fine.

Thank you (Huguette) for adding the "two" nine inch pans.
