Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour| Yield: 1 tall cake or 3 single layer cakes
Ingredients:
- 1 box Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Golden cake mix (MUST be this one)
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 8 oz cream cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Get out your mixer.
- Combine all ingredients. Mix slowly for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl, and mix on medium for 2 minutes.
- Pour into 3 (three) 8″ pans and bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. I’ve also made this in 2 (two) 9″ pans, and it turned out fine. Bake for 30 minutes if you do this.
