Neiman Marcus Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Crust

01 - 1 box yellow cake mix
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

→ For the Filling

04 - 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 4 cups (1 pound) powdered sugar

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until a thick dough forms. Press this evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
03 - In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until smooth.
04 - Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust, spreading it out evenly.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center will have a slightly gooey texture.
06 - Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or bars. Enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Indulge in Neiman Marcus cake: a rich, buttery dessert with a moist base and a tangy cream cheese topping. Delicious, easy to make, and 100% addictive.
02 - For a richer cake, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk or cream to the filling.
03 - For added texture, try sprinkling chopped pecans or chocolate chips on top before baking.
04 - Experiment with different cake mix flavors, like chocolate or spice cake, for variety.
