For the best results, make sure to use room-temperature ingredients, especially the cream cheese and butter. This helps create a smooth, lump-free filling. Don't overbake the cake—it's meant to be slightly gooey in the center. If you're unsure, gently shake the pan; the cake should jiggle just a bit in the middle when done. Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting to help the filling set and prevent messy slices.
