Cake Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs

Cheesecake Filling Ingredients

  • 2 packages of cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well blended.
  • Pour the batter into a greased springform pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool before proceeding.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
  • Once the cake base is cool, spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least four hours or overnight.

Serving

  • Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream.
  • Add sprinkles, fruit, or chocolate shavings for extra flair.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling. Experiment with different cake mix flavors like chocolate or vanilla. Drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the whipped cream before serving for added sweetness.
