How to Make Cream Cheese Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted margarine. Mix until just combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and slightly up the sides.
- **Topping:**
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake layer.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and set.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares with a sharp knife. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for optimal serving.
