Equipment

  • 1 hand mixer
  • 1 9x13 baking dish
  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 stick Softened Butter
  • 8oz block Cream Cheese
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 lb Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Prepare your baking dish by spraying with Bakers Joy or rubbing with butter. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees
  • In a bowl, mix the cake mix and the softened butter until the mixture is damp sand consistency. You should be able to form the mixture and have it break apart easily.
  • Pat this mixture into the bottom of your baking dish in an even layer. This should be enough to make a single layer on the bottom of the dish.
  • In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix this until there are no lumps.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake mixture in your baking dish. DO NOT mix these layers together.
  • Put in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • When the cake has a light brown top, you can remove it. Let it cool completely before serving.
