Ingredients

• shortening
• flour
• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) classic yellow cake mix (Duncan Hines works best do NOT use the mix with pudding)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup real butter, softened (no substitute)
• 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar (can reserve 3-4 tablespoons for dusting)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a 9"x13" baking pan by greasing with shortening and dusting with flour; set aside.

2. Place the cake mix, egg and softened stick of butter in a food processor. Process until thoroughly mixed, about a minute. Mixture will be crumbly then will form into a dough.

3. Scoop mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly. (I place a piece of plastic wrap over and press with my hand.).

4. No need to clean the processor's bowl. To the emptied food processor bowl, place the softened cream cheese, 2 eggs and confections' sugar (hold out a couple of tablespoons if using for dusting). Start pulsing then process until smooth; about a minute. Pour mixture over the cake layer, spreading evenly.

5. Bake 300 degress for approximatley 1 hour or until golden brown. Cool completely. Dust (best done using a sieve) with remaining confections sugar, if desired. Cut into squares.
