Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, 2 eggs, melted butter, flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined, then press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, remaining egg, vanilla, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake base in the pan, spreading it evenly.
• Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set but still slightly soft.
• Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
