Servings: 12
Ingredients
- Yellow cake mix
- 1 package (15.25 oz)
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, melted
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Cream cheese
- 8 oz, softened
- Powdered sugar
- 4 cups
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter, mixing until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form the cake base.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture is velvety and well blended.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake mix layer in the baking dish, ensuring an even coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center jiggles slightly when the pan is gently shaken.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to serve.
