Are you ready for the most decadent recipe I’ve ever posted? I’m guessing you are if you are still reading after a title like “Butter Bars.” The recipe title doesn’t lie. These are packed with the good stuff and full of rich flavor. They make an appearance once every year or so for special occasions and disappear. Fast.
Want to know the best news? The version I share today is a doctored cake mix! Which means little work and delicious results! This cake is full of ooey gooey flavor. You’ll think it’s not done baking, but I promise it is. Take it out after the recommended bake time.
Butter Bars
Ingredients
- 1 package yellow cake mix
- 1 egg
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 8oz blocks cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 16oz box powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350. Lightly grease a 13x9 pan and set aside.
-
Mix together the cake mix, egg, and the first 8 tablespoons of butter. Use your handy dandy KitchenAid to combine. Pat the mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and remaining butter. Stir in the powdered sugar and stir until combined. Spread over your cake and bake 45 minutes.
