Butter Cake

Ok, so this has to be one of my favorite desserts...soooo good, you won't be able to just eat one:) Enjoy!!

1 slightly beaten egg
1 package yellow cake mix (pudding in the mix type)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 if using a glass pan). Grease a 13 by 9 inch cake pan. Mix the lightly beaten egg with the dry cake mix and melted butter until you have a moist dough consistency. Press mixture evenly into pan. In a large bowl use electric mixer to beat cream cheese, remaining 3 eggs and vanilla until creamy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until smooth (it takes a while). Pour batter over crust. Bake 35-40 minutes. Watch carefully so crust doesn't get too brown. The cheese mixture should sink into the center somewhat leaving a firmer crust around the edges. Cool & cut into squares and serve.
