Chef's Notes
Do not panic when this cake sinks in the middle and develops a wonderfully bumpy, unpolished surface. That is precisely why it bears the name 'ugly cake', and its rustic appearance hides the most decadent, custard-like texture you will ever taste.
Pro Tip
Ensure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature before whisking it with the pudding and milk, otherwise you will spend an hour fighting stubborn little cheese lumps that refuse to blend into smooth submission.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to thoroughly grease your 9x13-inch baking pan will result in the cream cheese layer fusing permanently to the glass like architectural concrete, forcing you to serve your ugly cake with a metal chisel instead of a spatula.

Jester's note: They call it an ugly cake, which is comforting to know because my royal portrait gets the exact same description.
The Culinary Science
The combination of instant pudding mix and cream cheese introduces extra starches and dairy proteins that retain moisture exceptionally well, creating a dense, fudgy crumb structure that defies a standard box mix.

Storage Science
Cakes and soft desserts should be wrapped tightly to prevent moisture loss and stored at room temperature (if no perishable fillings) or refrigerated. Consume within 3 days.
Reheating Science
Serve at room temperature for optimal flavor perception, as cold mutes sweetness. If it's a baked pastry, flash-heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 3-5 minutes to restore the butter matrix and crispness.
