How to Make Red Velvet Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Generously grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1/2 cup water. Mix until just combined.
- The dough will be very stiff.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press evenly into the bottom of the pan. (Wearing gloves is highly recommended to prevent red food coloring stains).
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the red velvet dough.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. For freezing, cool completely, wrap tightly in foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.
