What can I do if I don’t have brown sugar?

Recipe Notes & Tips
-
If you notice that your glaze has some cream cheese clumps in it, use a wooden or rubber spatula and press the lumps against the bowl to help mash them into the mixture.
-
Make sure that you’re not overmixing the cake batter after you’ve added the flour to it. If you overmix, it makes the gluten overdevelop, which means that the cake won’t have that light, fluffy texture that you desire.
If you’re not a fan of glaze on your cake, you can always omit it from this recipe and just sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on top
