How to Make Raspberry Cream Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture.
- Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Spread 1 cup raspberry preserves evenly over the crust. (Heating it for 15-20 seconds in the microwave makes it easier to spread.)
- Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1/4 cup raspberry preserves.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the raspberry preserve layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
