Ingredients
- 1 box butter yellow cake mix
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 3 large eggs divided
- 8- ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3 ⅓ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9x13 baking dish with pan spray.
- In a large bowl mix the cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. The batter will be very thick, more akin to a dough than a typical cake batter. Press it evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In another large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the remaining 2 eggs, vanilla, and almond extracts. Scrape down the bowl and add the powdered sugar. Beat slowly until the powdered sugar is mostly incorporated before increasing the speed and beating until smooth.
- Add the cream cheese mixture over the cake mix and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. The center will puff up and then sink down as it bakes.
- Let the cake cool completely and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
