– Two 9-inch round cake pans

Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start with the cheesecake center. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease your cake pans. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and finish with the vanilla extract. Once everything is well combined, pour this mixture evenly into each prepared cake pan. It’ll bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until set. Let it cool completely before adding your cake layers. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
