Directions:
Place rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350º. Set aside an ungreased 13 x 9 in. baking pan. For the crust, place the cake mix, melted butter, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Blend with the electric mixer on low speed for 2 minutes. The batter should come together in a ball. With your fingertips, pat the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan, smoothing it out with your fingers until the top is smooth. Set the pan aside. For the filling, place the cream cheese in the same mixing bowl was in on low for 30 seconds. Add the eggs, vanilla, and melted butter and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Add sugar. Beat on medium speed until the sugar is incorporated, and then 1 more minute. Pour filling onto the crust and spread with a rubber spatula so that the filling covers the entire surface and reaches the sides of the pan. Bake the cake until it is well browned but the center still jiggles when you shake the pan, 45-47 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
