- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter 113g, melted
- 4 cups confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Turn oven on to 350°F (I set my convection oven at 325°F.
- Combine the cake mix, 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a bowl. Add the melted butter to the bowl. Mix all ingredients together using a fork.
- Use a 9-inch x 3-inch round cake pan, or a 9 x 13-inch baking pan coated with baking spray.
- Place the cake mixture in a pan and flatten it.
- Mix cream cheese, vanilla, remaining eggs, and butter in a stand mixer until smooth.
- Mix in 1 cup of confectioners sugar at a time, and continue to mix on low speed until all sugar is added.
- Spread cream cheese mixture on top of cake mixture
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The edges of mine were golden brown. However, the center was still slightly jiggly. Don't overcook.
- Let cool completely before serving.
