Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 box of yellow cake mix (dry)
- 8 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg
For the Sticky Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 2 beaten eggs
- 16 ounces powdered sugar
Preparation
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with oil or butter to ensure your bars don’t stick.
Next, prepare the crust. In a medium bowl, combine the dry yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until everything is well combined, then press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Now, create the sticky layer. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and mix for a few minutes. Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Spread the sticky layer evenly over the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. Be careful not to overbake!
Once done, allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. These Cream Cheese Cake Bars are best served chilled but can be enjoyed at room temperature too. Enjoy!
