Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend together the cake mix, 2 eggs, and softened butter. Spread into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Beat together the remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake batter in the pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have yellow cake mix, you can substitute it with a homemade cake batter using flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. For a different texture, try folding in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture before pouring it over the cake batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Sugar Cream Cake warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream on top for added richness. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a delightful afternoon treat. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Sugar Cream Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, simply microwave a slice for 15-20 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can enjoy it cold straight from the fridge, as the flavors meld beautifully when chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Yes, you can experiment with other cake mixes, such as chocolate or butter cake mix, for different flavor profiles. Just keep in mind that the overall taste and texture will change, but it can still yield a delicious result.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Can I freeze the Sugar Cream Cake?
Yes, you can freeze the cake. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator overnight before serving for the best texture.
