Add the butter. Slice the cold butter into thin pats. Distribute the butter pats evenly to cover the top of the cake mix as much as possible.
Bake. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly at the edges.
Cool. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. The dessert will thicken as it cools.
You Must Know
The dessert is not a traditional cake with a uniform crumb. It bakes into a layered dessert with a cobbler or crisp-like topping. The cream cheese will not mix in smoothly but will create distinct pockets within the dessert. Do not stir the ingredients after they are layered in the pan.
Storage Tips
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This dessert is typically served warm or at room temperature. Reheat individual portions in a microwave if desired.
