Ingredients

Cake Mix Layer:

• 1 15.25 Ounces (oz) package yellow cake mix, packaged
• 0.5 Cups (cup) butter, melted
• 1 Large egg, whisked

Cream Cheese Layer:

• 1 8 Ounces (oz) package cream cheese, packaged
• 2 Large eggs, whisked
• 3.5 Cups (cup) confectioners' sugar

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 15x10-inch sheet pan.
2. In a bowl, stir together the cake mix, melted butter, and whisked egg until well combined. Press the mixture into the prepared sheet pan to form the bottom layer.
3. In another bowl, beat the packaged cream cheese and whisked eggs until smooth. Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated. Pour this mixture over the cake mix layer in the sheet pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into 24 bars.
