- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 package instant pudding mix (3.4 ounces, complementing cake flavor)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Cake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil.
- Using an electric mixer, blend the ingredients on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.

3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

- Blend at low speed until fully combined and smooth.

4. Assemble the Cake
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter, creating a uniform layer.
- Pour the remaining cake batter over the cream cheese layer, gently spreading it to cover completely.

5. Bake the Cake
- Place the cake in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
