    Cake Bars

    Delightful Treat Made With Cake Mix

    Buttery Cake Bars are a delightful treat for potlucks and bake sales.  These ooey-gooey bars are rich with decadent buttery flavors are super moist, rich, and with decadent buttery flavors.

    Here's my recipe for gooey cake bars made with cake mixes that are incredibly easy to whip up.

    • Make the base first; mix cake mix, butter, and 1 egg
      Pat the dough into the pan evenly, the dough will be thick but easy to work with

    Make a buttery layer

    • Cream together room-temperature cream cheese, 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla Pour the buttery layer over the cake layer, and spread evenly Bake for 45 minutes or until edges are slightly brown, don't overbake.

      Rosey, I love easy recipe as well. Especially baked goods. I'm not very patient when it comes to baking so this recipe does the trick.

      Eli, You will not be able to stop at just one, just be sure to have a cup of tea or coffee ready, they are really rich! Delish!

      Eli, You made me laugh! I've been there! Church baked goods are always the best. I used to pine for one elderly woman's famous lemon squares but by the time I could talk my mom into letting me go back for another one they were all gone! sigh! Enjoy the sweet bars with your daughters!

      Try them with Spice Cake Mix and Lemon Cake Mix...delicious! Also, I love pressing chocolate chips, pecans & coconut into the cake layer before pouring the cream cheese mixture on top.

      I love anything with butter and cake in the title. Especially if I can eat it for breakfast. I have a yellow cake mix that I make to have on hand for just such occasions!

      I've had these at church and other places where good behavior was expected, and I ate only one, but pined for more. now that I have a recipe for them, I'm going to make them for a night my daughters and I are watching football - and won't feel a bit bad about establishing a new serving size of 5.

      Thanks!
