Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup water
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
• 3 large eggs
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
• ½ cup Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
• 1 (12 ounce) can PET® Evaporated Milk
• ½ cup SMUCKER'S® Caramel Flavored Topping

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat cake mix, water, 3 eggs, and vegetable oil together in a large bowl until well combined; pour evenly over caramel topping.

Step 2

Place cake on a cooling rack; cool for 15 minutes. Remove foil and invert onto a serving plate. Cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Chill for 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 12-cup fluted tube pan with nonstick spray. Place a piece of rolled-up foil into the tube part of the pan to prevent cake from spilling over the top. Pour caramel topping into the prepared pan.

Step 4

Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, 4 eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla in a blender. Process until smooth; pour slowly over cake batter. While baking, the cake will rise and the milk mixture will go to the bottom.

Step 5

Coat a piece of foil with nonstick spray. Cover the pan tightly with foil, coated-side down. Place the pan in a large roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to a depth of 2 inches.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs on it, about 2 hours.
