Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

Spoon the cake batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly.
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and two eggs until creamy.
Carefully spoon the cream cheese filling over the cake batter.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Refrigerate overnight for best texture.
