Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add the remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until fully combined and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the center is still slightly gooey. Avoid overbaking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Step 9
Dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired, and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
