Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Beat the egg slightly in a mixing bowl. Melt the butter and pour it into the bowl. Add the cake mix and mix until the dry lumps disappear. Spread this evenly in a 9x13x21/2" cake pan. The mixture will be stiff - like playdough - and I find it easier to use my bare hands for spreading it and patting it down.

For the next step you will need an electric mixer or blender. Soften the cream cheese ( I use the microwave ) and whirl away in blender

(or mixer). Add the remaining eggs and vanilla. Continue mixing while slowly adding the sugar. Mix until creamy (this can take several minutes).

Pour this mixture into cake pan on top of the first mix and pop into oven. The recipe says it takes 30-35 minutes but mine took 50 minutes. The center will sink and bubble, and the sides rise up.

Remove when the top is a light brown. Watch carefully so that it doesnt get too brown. The cake will be very soft. Wait for it to cool and harden before cutting into small squares and eating. If you like you can sprinkle with a tablespoon of confectioners sugar or pecans while it is still warm.
