Ingredients

  • 1 box (18.25 oz ) of yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 8 oz butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb confectioners sugar

Directions

1

Combine the cake mix, one egg, and 4 oz butter to create a stiff dough .

2

Spray a 9 × 13-inch pan with oil. Spread the dough evenly in the pan and up the sides.

3

Melt the remaining butter, and mix the remaining ingredients to create the filling, adding the cream cheese and then the confectioner's sugar last. Gently warming the cream cheese aids mixing.

4

Pour the filling into the crust, and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Allow to cool and firm up.
