Ingredients

flour
1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 large eggs, divided
1 cup butter, melted, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Mix well and pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy. Blend in the remaining 1/2 cup of melted butter and 2 eggs. Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until well combined. Carefully pour this mixture over the cake batter already in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
