How to Make Chess Cake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, softened, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, melted, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the cake mix crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the chess cake cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
