Lightly spray a cooling rack with nonstick cooking spray prior to inverting your cake onto it. This prevents the cake from sticking to the wire rack.
Storing: If you plan on storing the cake layers for longer than 2 days, double wrap them with plastic wrap and then cover with tin foil and store in the freezer. If you don’t finish the whole cake in one sitting,
To freeze a fully frosted cake, place the frosted cake in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the frosting is completely set/frozen on the outside. Double wrap the cake in plastic wrap and then again in tin foil. The fully frosted cake can freeze for up to 2 weeks. Take the cake out of the freezer and place in the fridge the night before serving. The morning of serving, remove the tin foil layer and let stand at room temperature.
Store the completed cake in the fridge for a few days due to the cream cheese frosting.

my hubby's favorite cake/frosting combo. this was my first attempt at making a layer cake - i chose your recipe for my first layer cake. as always i read the recipe through about 5 times, shop for needed ingredients, then follow the recipe carefully - this recipe is easy to follow and the cake turned out perfectly!
I made this cake for my daughter's birthday and it was a major hit. I made 2 layers and I decided to reduce the confectioners sugar in the icing to 4 cups and 1 TBSP of milk. It did not stay around very long.
