These tasty cakes or bars were an instant hit the first time they were served at afternoon tea. The recipe is from The Lady & Sons Just Desserts by Paula H. Deen. Try one of the many delicious variations.
Cake
1 18.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup melted butter
Filling
1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 16 ounce box conffectioners' sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan. In a bowl combine cake mix, egg and butter, mix well. Pat into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside. Still using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs and vanilla. Dump in confectioners' sugar and beat well. Reduce speed of mixer and slowly pour in butter. Mix well. Pour filling into cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Don't be afraid to make judgement call on the cooking time, because oven temps vary. You want the center to be a little gooey. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares. Very,very rich and tasty!
