Pour into two well greased 9 inch cake pans and bake on 350 degrees for 30-40 mins (until fork/knive comes out of the cneter ofthe cake clean.) Be careful not to overbake as the cake will get very DRY.
Frosting:
Whip together 1/2 cup of room temp butter and 8 oz room temp cream cheese until smooth. Sift in 1.5 cups of no cal powdered sweetener (powdered sugar substitute). Frosting will be slightly sweet but not overly and very light!
Make sure to refrigerate your cake as the frosting is perishable.
