Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. (I set my convection oven to 325°F)

Step 2

In a bowl, combine cake mix, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla and the melted butter. Mash together with a fork until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3

Spray a 9-inch by 3-inch round cake pan or a 9-inch by 13-inch pan with baking spray or use a piece of parchment in the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Press cake mixture into bottom of prepared pan and get it as flat as possible.

Step 5

Place cream cheese, remaining eggs, vanilla and melted butter in a stand mixer and beat on medium speed until creamy.

Step 6

Add in confectioners sugar 1 cup at a time (and on low speed) until all sugar has been added.

Step 7

Pour cream cheese mixture over cake mixture.

Step 8

Bake for 35-45 minutes. I moved mine from the oven when the edges were brown, but the center was still a bit jiggly. You do not want to over cook.

Step 9

Allow to cool before serving.
