Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package 18 1/4-ounce yellow cake mix
- 1 large egg
- 16 tablespoons melted butter (divided)
- 1 package 8-ounce cream cheese (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 box 16-ounce powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare a 9×13 inch pan by greasing it well.
- In a large bowl, stir the cake mix with one large egg and half of the melted butter until the mixture looks moist and slightly glossy. Press it evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add the two large eggs, the remaining melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla, then stir until silky and glossy.
- Dollop or spread the filling over the cake base.
- Bake until the edges are golden, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs clinging.
- Once slightly cooled, cut into squares and serve warm.
Notes
For a tangy twist, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling. Keep an eye on the oven in the last ten minutes to prevent overbaking.
