Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Layer Ingredients

8 ounce package cream cheese room temperature
1 pound confectioner sugar
2 large eggs

Garnish

¼ cup confectioner's sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9 x 13“ pan or baking dish with nonstick spray. Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature.
Add the butter and microwave in a small bowl for 45 seconds to melt the butter fully, and set it aside.
Add the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, and stir well to combine.
Pour the cake batter into the baking dish and spread with a spatula to make an even layer. This cake batter will be thick.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use an electric mixer and a large bowl), add the softened cream cheese and sugar together and beat on medium speed until they are creamed together.
Once the butter and sugar are combined, add to the eggs and continue mixing until everything is mixed well.
Pour the mixture over the cake batter bottom layer and spread till all the cake batter is covered.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool completely. Sift the confectioner sugar over the top.
