Description
Delicious cream cheese brownie bars made with yellow cake mix and a rich cream cheese filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 15 ounces yellow cake mix
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 cups sifted powdered sugar (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan by spraying it with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.
- Make the crust: To a large bowl, add yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and salt. Stir together with a fork to create a dough.
- Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan to form a crust. Set aside.
- Make the filling: Using a hand mixer and a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium speed until creamy.
- Slowly add in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until all has been incorporated.
- Pour filling mixture on top of the crust in the pan.
- Bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center still has a slight jiggle.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving. Sprinkle powdered sugar over top.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for best results.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
- Extra powdered sugar can be sprinkled on top for added sweetness.
