Cake Batter
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Topping
- 3 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Make Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the batter is stiff and well combined. Spread this batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the confectioners’ sugar, softened cream cheese, and the remaining 2 eggs until smooth. Pour this cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake batter in the pan.
- Bake Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and just beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan, and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting into slices. This cooling step helps the layers set and enhances the cake’s texture before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth topping.
- Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly jiggly to keep the topping creamy.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to maintain clean layers.
- This cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
