-
In a separate bowl, cream the butter.
-
Blend the brown sugar into the butter.
-
Beat in eggs, mix until fluffy.
-
Add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the creamed sugar/butter mixture. Alternate between teh two, adding a little at a time until all ingredients are incorporated.

Pour batter into greased and floured pans. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until done. Remove from pans and cool.

In a bowl, beat the frosting ingredients together.

Frost the cooled cake with cream cheese frosting. Note: There is enough frosting for a 2-layer cake- if you make a sheet pan, you will end up with with leftover frosting, great for frosting some cookies!
