Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Topping/Filling Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups (454 grams) powdered sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light grease coating to prevent sticking.
- Create the first layer by combining cake mix, melted butter, and egg into a smooth, consistent mixture, then carefully press the blend into the bottom of the prepared dish, ensuring an even surface.
- In a separate mixing bowl, transform cream cheese into a silky texture by beating until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the cream cheese, blending thoroughly until well integrated.
- Gradually fold powdered sugar into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until achieving a luxurious, creamy consistency.
- Gently cascade the cream cheese layer over the initial cake crust, spreading evenly to create a uniform top.
- Optional: Scatter chopped pecans across the surface for added texture and nutty flavor.
- Transfer the assembled dessert to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and a slightly soft center.
- Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool completely, which helps set the creamy filling and makes cutting into precise squares easier.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly warm for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the cake mix flavor to match your preference, like chocolate or yellow cake for different taste profiles.
- Toast pecans beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a deeper, richer crunch to the dessert.
- Check the cake’s doneness by gently shaking the pan – a slight wobble in the center indicates the perfect gooey texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the regular cake mix with a gluten-free alternative and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
