Crust
- 1- 15.25oz Box Yellow Butter Cake Mix
- 4oz (1/2 Cup/1 Stick) Unsalted Butter, browned (How to make Brown Butter)*
- 1 Large Egg, at room temperature
Topping
- 1-8oz block cream cheese completely softened to room temperature
- 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 360 grams (3 Cups) Confectioners Sugar/ Powdered sugar
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C and line a 9" X 9" pan with foil and grease, set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine cake mix, brown butter, and egg, mix until fully combined. Press into prepared pan, I like to use a spatula to help me get an even layer.
Topping
- In the bowl of an electric mixer beat cream cheese for 2 minutes, add in eggs and vanilla extract beating until combined. Add in powdered sugar, beat until combined.
- Pour batter on top of crust and bake for 30-40 minutes, you want the middle to be set but still a bit jiggly. Let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- Since you need 4oz of browned butter I would brown 6oz as some of the liquid butter will evaporate when browning it.
