Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab your baking dish and spray it with cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer (or a good old whisk if you’re feeling strong!) to beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. Then, pour in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. This will be the luscious cream-cheese layer in your delightful dump cake. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
