In a medium bowl add the cake mix and one stick of melted butter and stir together until it is well mixed. This will resemble crumbly cookie batter.

Press this mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish using your hands or a large spoon.

In another medium bowl add the softened cream cheese, butter, eggs, and the vanilla and mix, using a mixer, until this mixture is light and creamy without the lumps.

Add the powdered sugar and mix again just until it is all mixed. The mixture will be light and airy. Tip: Start this step off on low so that the powdered sugar does not go everywhere in your kitchen.

Place this mixture on the cake mixture and spread it out evenly and place this into the oven for 40 - 45 minutes, or until the cake bars are done. The center should be slightly jiggly when the cake is removed from the oven.

Let the cake cool to room temperature or about 20 minutes or so, and cut them into bars. Enjoy!

Note: You could use white, yellow or french vanilla cake mix to make these bars. I have not tried it yet, but I think lemon would be delicious in this recipe too.

I like to serve this to my family after and delicious dinner at the table. We enjoy them warm and at room temperature.
