Baking Tips, Tricks, & Substitutions
Start by greasing the baking dish or pan you plan to use. This will make it easier to serve the cake and prevent it from sticking. I used parchment paper.
Drop small spoonfuls of cheese cake mixture evenly across the cake mix layer. This will create pockets of creamy goodness in your dessert.
Baking times can vary depending on your oven and the size of your pan. Start checking for doneness around the suggested time. The cake should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion should come out clean.
