This recipe can be made in bar form with a 9x13 pan or in a round pan as shown above. Last time I made it in a glass 9x13 pan but I think next time I will use a metal pan to get the crust crunchier. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 pkg yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup, 113g), melted
Filling
- 1 eight ounce (8ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup, 113g), melted
- 4 c powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. (I set my convection oven to 325°F)
- In a bowl, combine cake mix, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla and melted butter. Mash together with a fork until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Spray 9-inch by 3-inch round cake pan or a 9x13 pan with baking spray or use a piece of parchment in the bottom of the pan.
- Press cake mixture into bottom of prepared pan and get as flat as possible.
- Place cream cheese, remaining eggs, vanilla and melted butter in stand mixer and beat on medium speed until creamy.
- Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time (and on low speed) until all sugar has been added.
- Pour cream cheese mixture over cake mixture.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes. I moved mine from the oven when the edges were brown, but the center was still a bit giggly. You do not want to over cook.
- Allow to cool before serving.
