Chess Cake 1 box butter recipe golden cake mix 1 tsp. vanilla 1 stick butter, melted 2 eggs ———————————————- 1 box (~4 cups) 10x powdered sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 8 oz. cream cheese Mix first 4 ingredients and spread in a 9 X 13 Pyrex dish. Mix next 4 ingredients together and pour over the cake mixture. (To save time, use a mixer and don’t wash it in between. The two batters mix together just fine.) Bake @ 325 degrees for approximately an hour. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean (or with just a few little pieces stuck to it.) Top layer will puff up in the oven, and fall when cooled. After cooling, cut into squares (as best as you can…they’re pretty gooey!) and watch them disappear from the plate!
