Ingredients

Crust (bottom layer)

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 stick unsalted butter

Filling (top layer)

  • 1 16 oz bag powder sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°

Crust (bottom layer):

  • Pour the cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Pour melted butter and egg into the bowl and mix together using a fork. Do NOT use an electric mixer.
  • Pour cake mixture into a 9x13 cake pan and press it to form the crust. Using your fingers pinch the sides all along the outside perimeter. The crust should go half way up the side of the pan. Set aside.

Filling (top layer):

  • Set aside about a tablespoon of the powdered sugar for later
  • Using either an electric mixer or a food processor blend together cream cheese, 2 eggs, and powdered sugar. Mix until completely blended together with no chunks.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes. The top of the cake should start to change to a darker golden color.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into squares and serve!
