Mrs. Hayden was a patient of mine when I was fresh out of college and in my first job. As a widow, she was lonely so I visted her often. She always baked something when she knew I was going to drop by. My daughter Shanna started cooking when she was 12 and this was her favorite foolproof sweet. It brings back many sweet memories. Ingredients:
1 (18 ounce) box white cake mix |
2 large eggs, slightly beaten |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 lb confectioners' sugar |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
2 large eggs, slightly beaten |
Directions:
1. Crust:.
2. Sift or stir the cake mix to remove lumps.
3. Mix in the butter & eggs to make a stiff dough.
4. Press evenly into (2) 8-inch cake pans or (1) 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
5. Topping:.
6. Cream together the sugar & cream cheese.
7. Stir in the eggs.
8. Spread over crust.
9. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes.
10. Note: This would be a wonderful recipe to tweak using different flavors of cake mix, adding chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc.
