Cream Cheese Squares

Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This ensures your oven is ready to bake as soon as you’re done with the preparation.

Prepare the Cake Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, beaten eggs, and softened butter. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated. Transfer this mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, pressing it down to form an even layer.

Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, blend the confectioner’s sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.

Assemble: Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake layer in the pan, ensuring an even distribution.

Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and the center is set.

Cool and Serve: Allow the Cream Cheese Squares to cool completely before cutting into squares. This cooling step is crucial for the squares to set properly and makes them easier to cut.

These Cream Cheese Squares are the epitome of simplicity and deliciousness, making them a perfect choice for dessert lovers looking for something straightforward yet utterly satisfying. Serve them at your next gathering, and watch them disappear, or keep them all to yourself for a decadent treat. Enjoy the rich, sweet bliss that each square brings!
