Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

  3. Pour cake batter into cake pan.
  4. In a small bowl, add all topping ingredients. Stir well. Pour mixture over cake batter.

  6. Put cake in the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Bake for additional time if necessary.
  7. Allow cake to cool. While cooling, add cream cheese and butter to a bowl. Using either a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat on medium until well combined and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat again until light and fluffy.
