Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large Eggs
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until fully incorporated and press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Step 3
In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer. Add the remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue beating until the mixture is creamy and free of lumps.
Step 4
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is lightly golden. The center may still appear slightly jiggly, which is fine.
Step 6
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing into bars.
Step 7
Store any leftover butter bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
