- Beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Mix in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Add vanilla.
- Line a 9-inch cake pan with foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before chilling.
- Prepare frosting. Use an electric mixer to whisk together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Mix in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well in between each addition. Mix in vanilla. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
- Keep covered in an airtight container until ready to use.
- To assemble cake, anchor bottom layer of cake to cake stand or plate with a little bit of frosting. Spread a thin layer of frosting over first layer of cake.
