2 teaspoons (10g) vanilla extract
1 can (14oz-397g) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12oz -350g) condensed milk
1. Add sugar in a small saucepan. Melt over medium-low heat until golden, stirring constantly. Turn off heat and pour hot caramel into the bottom of a greased 9-10 inch (23-25cm) thick skillet. Rotate pan to spread evenly. Set aside.
2. Prepare the vanilla cake mix. Place in the oven at 350F (180C).

5. Gradually add flour mixture alternating with milk.
6. Pour batter into caramel coated pan. Set aside.

8. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the vanilla cake batter into the batch pan.
9. Place the bundle pan in a larger pan and add boiling water to half the sides of the pan.
