Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of yellow cake mix (I used a butter recipe version)
- 3 eggs, divided (one for the crust and two for the topping)
- 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup), melted
- 1 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups of powdered (confectioner’s sugar)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, 1 egg and the melted butter until it is well mixed and has formed a dough.
- Turn dough out into prepared baking dish and using hands, press into bottom of baking dish, covering baking dish and set aside.
- In separate clean mixing bowl, mix together the sugar, cream cheese, vanilla and 2 eggs and blend with electric mixer until smooth.
- Pour over top of crust and use spatula to spread topping over crust.
- Bake for 50 minutes (check at the 45 minute point) until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Cut into squares using a knife inserted into hot water between cuts (topping is sticky and will tear easily if you don’t use this trick, making for messy bars).
