INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350F.

- Add the rest of the cake ingredients. Blend very briefly until just combined. Do not over-blend or the cake will come out gummy.
- Pour the batter into an 8-inch square or round pan that is either greased or lined with parchment paper. Spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350F.
- Cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, combine all the ingredients in a high speed blender. Blend until very smooth and creamy. Use as is, or refrigerate for a few hours to thicken.
