WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

This simple recipe is made with a one-bowl batter, a one-bowl topping, and the hardest part is waiting for the bars to cool before slicing.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CAKE

– Yellow cake mix – Eggs – Unsalted butter – Vanilla extract – Cream cheese – Powdered sugar

STEP 1: MIX THE BASE

In a bowl stir together the cake mix, 2 eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until a thick dough forms, then press it evenly into the pan.

STEP 2: MIX THE TOPPING

In a second bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth, whisk in the remaining 2 eggs, then blend in the powdered sugar until glossy.

STEP 3: LAYER & BAKE

Pour the cream-cheese mixture over the base, spread level, and bake 35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.

STEP 4: COOL & SLICE

Cool the cake completely in the pan; the center will firm as it cools. Cut into squares and serve.

PRO-TIPS

- Use boxed cake mix for ideal texture - Soften the cream cheese to room temp to prevent lumps - Allow the cake to cool so the slices keep their shape
