List of items needed to make a recipe.
For the outer layer:
1 box of yellow cake mix, dry (not mixed)
8 tablespoons of melted butter
1 egg
Sticky Layer:
8 ounces of softened cream cheese
2 eggs, whisked.
16 ounces of powdered sugar
How to Prepare Sticky Bars
Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until everything is well mixed together.
Flatten and spread the dough evenly in a greased baking pan measuring 9 by 13 inches. Put aside.
In another big bowl, mix and beat the cream cheese until creamy. Put the eggs in and mix well for about a minute or two. Sprinkle powdered sugar and keep mixing until everything is well mixed.
Pour the mixture over the base and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 25-30 minutes or until it is ready. Avoid baking for too long.
Once finished, take out of the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into pieces.
I hope this cake brings as much joy to your family as it does to mine. Once people notice it, it will disappear quickly. I hope they are prepared to enjoy one this Christmas. I feel like baking and I think I will continue to feel this way for a while.
