  • Eggs

How to Make The Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12x18-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, 1/2 cup water, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
  3. Pat the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 3 large eggs, and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter in the pan.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
