Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cake

First I preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Next I take my basic ingredients: Cake mix, eggs, oil, and mix them in a bowl. I thoroughly stir for two minutes, making sure that the elements are fully consolidated. Next, I grab two 8 by 11 inch baking pans, grease them with butter, then pour the batter into them.  I placed the cake batter in the oven for ten minutes. Alright! Time to get started on the icing! I took out 3 cups of Philadelphia cream cheese, 2 cups of sugar, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons of butter. Then, I carefully mix them together. However, the icing was hard to mix because I did not let the butter and cream cheese sit at room temperature, so it took me a total of five minutes. The icing is finished, all that's left is the cake. So, in the mean time, I indulged in chocolate and watched the Adventures of Iron Man. I was not aware that five minutes have passed already until I smelled smoke. I rushed to the kitchen and, luckily, only the top of the two cakes were burned. I took them out of the oven, grabbed a long knife and carefully removed the burned marks. I gave the cakes five minutes more to cool off before I applied the icing. Five minutes later I came back to the kitchen and carefully remove the cake pans from  both cakes. I had to say, the cakes came out well! They both had an even coating of brown and were moist inside. I applied the icing on the top of one cakes, stacked the other cake on top of the iced one, then continued to spread the rest of the icing. I placed the cake in the refrigerator and waited patiently for dinner to start.
