Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box spice cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  • 1 egg

Filling

  • 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the cake later.
  2. Make the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, melted butter, and one egg. Stir until the mixture is well blended. Press this mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the cake crust.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Add the two eggs and mix well. Pour in the melted butter and beat again until fully incorporated. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing continuously until the filling is smooth and combined. Finally, mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the prepared cream cheese filling over the crust layer, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and firm but the center remains slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve for a delightful autumn treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • The cake should be slightly jiggly in the center when done; it will firm up as it cools.
  • For easier slicing, chill the cake after cooling completely.
  • You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking for extra spice.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
