Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box Gluten-Free Yellow Cake Mix Substitute with a homemade gluten-free version if you prefer.
  • 4 large Eggs Two for the cake layer and two for the cream cheese filling.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Use vegan butter for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Consider almond extract for an exciting spin.
For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Opt for a dairy-free version if needed.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Adjust to taste, especially if less sweetness is preferred.
  • 2 large Eggs Flax eggs can be substituted for a vegan option.

Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free yellow cake mix, two eggs, and melted butter. Mix until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Pour into the greased pan.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the remaining two eggs until creamy and lump-free, about 3-4 minutes. Spoon the filling over the cake batter.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, checking until the center is set. A toothpick should come out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate overnight for best texture.
