Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix (dry, not prepared)
2 sticks butter (melted)
1 egg
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
2 eggs (beaten)
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. The dough will be thick and sticky. Press this mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
Prepare the Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and powdered sugar, mixing until thick and creamy.
-
Assemble the Bars: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Spread it evenly.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The bars should have a golden top with a jiggly center. Don’t overbake to maintain their gooey texture.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the bars cool completely on a wire rack for 1-2 hours before cutting into squares. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
-
Variations: Try different flavors with chocolate cake mix, lemon cake mix, or spice cake mix. You can also add chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut to customize.
-
Storage: Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness. For freezing, wrap bars individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Serving Suggestions: Serve with coffee, vanilla ice cream, or just enjoy on their own.
