How to Make Pay Day Bar Cake
- 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, 1/3 cup (67g) melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
- Press the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle evenly with 1 cup (45g) mini marshmallows.
- Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until marshmallows are lightly golden and puffed.
