1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated white sugar

Cream Cheese Icing:

Directions:

Allow to cool completely before frosting.
4. To make the cream cheese frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla, and beat until light and fluffy. Spread frosting over cooled cake.
