Equipment

• 9×13-inch baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Electric hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment
• Mixing bowls (medium and large)
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Spatula
• Wire rack

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
• In a medium bowl, beat melted butter, yellow cake mix, and two eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 25 to 30 seconds until a thick batter forms.
  
• Then spread it evenly in the prepared pan.
  
• Without washing, use the same bowl to mix cream cheese, the remaining two eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  
• Pour this mixture over the cake layer and spread evenly.
  
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the center remains slightly jiggly.
• Let cool completely on a wire rack for 2 to 3 hours before cutting into 24 pieces.
  

Notes

• You can use a butter-flavored yellow cake mix.
• Sift the powdered sugar before mixing to prevent lumps in the cream cheese layer.
• Let the bars cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
