📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter (making sure to get along the edges and in the corners.)
butter (, to grease)cup butter (melted)1/2
2
Make the cake layer: In a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and 2 eggs. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan in a flat even layer.

3
Make the filling layer: Wipe out the bowl and add in the cream cheese; beat with the electric mixer until smooth and no lumps remain. Reduce speed to low and add in one egg at a time until each one is fully incorporated. Blend in the vanilla, then blend in the powdered sugar about 1 cup at a time, until just combined.

4
Pour the filling layer over the cake layer in the baking dish (DO NOT mix the two layers.)
5
Bake on the middle/center rack for about ⏱️ 40 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is still a little jiggly (middle may sink a bit - that's ok.) DO NOT OVERBAKE. Check ⏱️ 5-10 minutes before it's supposed to be done.
6
Sprinkle with a little more powdered sugar. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.PRO TIP: To prevent your cake from sticking to your knife, spray it with a little cooking spray and then wipe it clean with a towel in between cuts. Cut slowly and carefully.
