Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until well combined and the dough is smooth. This will form the base layer.
Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly using your hands or a spatula.
In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the base layer in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly set but still jiggles a little when shaken.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the dish before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Optionally, dust the top with additional powdered sugar before serving for an added touch of sweetness.
Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Enjoy your Neiman Marcus Butter Cake!
