Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9X13 baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake ingredients with a hand held or stand up mixer until combined.
Pour the cake batter into the baking dish into an even layer.
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese until smooth and creamy with a hand held or stand up mixer.
Add in the eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Then slowly add in the powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) until all combined and mixed well.
Spread the filling batter over the cake batter in the baking dish.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until the outside starts to brown and the center is still slightly gooey. Start checking at 30 minutes and continue baking in 5-minute increments if needed. It will look underdone in the very middle and jiggle slightly but that's what you want. The filling firms up as it cools.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
Then cut the cake into squares, serve and enjoy!
