Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 1 18.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • Filling:
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 16-ounce box confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 cup almond toffee bits or chocolate toffee bits

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan

Step 2

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.

Step 3

Still using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs, butter and vanilla. Dump in confectioners’ sugar and beat well. Reduce speed of mixer and slowly pour in butter. Mix well. Fold in toffee bits.

Step 4

Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Don’t be afraid to make a judgment call on the cooking time, because oven temperatures can vary. You want the center to be a little gooey, so don’t bake it past that point!

Step 5

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares. Just remember that these wonderful cakes are very, very rich, and a little will go a long way.
