UnitsScale
Cake Mix Crust:
1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
1/2cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
Cream Cheese Filling:
8oz cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
3 3/4cups powdered sugar (about 1 lb)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Make Cake Mix Crust: Combine the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg in a medium bowl. Press the dough into the pan to form the crust.
Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and bake for 35–40 minutes until set.
Cool and Serve: Let cool, cut into bars, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
For a flavor variation, try using a lemon or spice cake mix.
Bars will firm up more as they cool, so avoid overbaking for a gooey texture.
