How to Make Rich Cheesecake Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined. Press evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the cake mix layer.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. The edges will be golden brown.
  6. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars. This allows the bars to set properly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal gooeyness. Store leftover bars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
