Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the 1 cup cream cheese frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides.
