### Instructions:

1. **Preheat your oven** to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. **Add nuts (optional)**: Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts, if using.

4. **Bake** for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely before frosting.

5. **Make the frosting**: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until creamy.

6. **Frost the cake**: Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.
