Cake Ingredients

1 box Pillsbury Gluten-Free Yellow Cake Mix For structure
1/2 cup butter, melted For moisture and richness
2 pieces eggs For structure and binding
1 8 oz. block cream cheese, softened For texture and creaminess

Frosting Ingredients

4 cups powdered sugar For sweetness and structure
1 teaspoon vanilla For flavor enhancement

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Pillsbury Gluten-Free Yellow Cake Mix with the melted butter and two eggs. Use an electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar and teaspoon of vanilla while continuing to mix until smooth.

Baking

Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling and Frosting

Carefully remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a short time, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost the cake with the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh. For best results, let your butter melt fully, and make sure your cream cheese softens completely before frosting.
