This is another great almost-from-scratch Southern favorite; the only thing keeping it from being totally scratch is the cake mix, and that doesn’t really count, does it? The cream cheese gives it a decadent, rich flavor. A true Southern chess cake... More

Ingredients
  • Cake:
  • The ingredients are simple, but don’t substitute.
  • 1 box Duncan Hines Butter Yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stick of butter (Don’t let it get TOO soft; it’ll make the mixture sticky and difficult to spread).
  • Topping:
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 box confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Cake:
  3. Mix all ingredients and press into a 9”x13” glass baking dish ~ will be crumbly.
  4. Topping:
  5. Mix all ingredients well ~ will have a batter-like consistency.
  6. Pour on top of cake mixture.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cake is done when center begins to firm and edges have a slight brownie-like appearance. It’s perfect when it’s a very light golden brown. DON’T OVERCOOK! It will finish firming as it cools.
  8. Cool for at least 15 minutes on a cooling rack before cutting.
  9. M-m-m-m good! Enjoy!
