- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Beat room temperature butter and cream cheese until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
- Assemble the cake with layers of frosting in between and on the outside, smoothing it out for a polished finish.
