Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
For the filling:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box (16 oz) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Instructions:
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix the cake mix, egg, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish to form the crust.
- Make the filling: In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, powdered sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Pour this mixture over the crust.
- Bake: Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly gooey. The edges should be golden brown. Don’t overbake as the gooey texture is key!
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
