Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, melted butter, and 2 eggs. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough-like consistency. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and coconut extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake crust in the baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown but still slightly jiggly in the center. The jiggle indicates that the topping is perfectly gooey.

Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Serve as is, or top with whipped cream or toasted coconut flakes.
