Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until a thick dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
In the same bowl, beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then gradually beat in powdered sugar until fully combined and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust and spread it to the edges.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is slightly jiggly.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
Ensure butter and cream cheese are fully softened for a smooth filling.
Line the pan with parchment for easier removal.
Let bars cool completely before slicing to maintain structure.
