Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ¾ cups (450g) powdered sugar
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 box (15.25 oz/432g) red velvet cake mix
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep Pan: Generously lubricate a 9×13-inch baking vessel with butter or line with parchment paper to guarantee effortless cake removal and prevent sticking.
- Mix Dough: Vigorously blend red velvet cake mix with melted butter and egg, transforming ingredients into a harmonious, rich crimson dough with smooth consistency.
- Layer Foundation: Meticulously spread the vibrant mixture across the pan’s entire surface, using fingertips or a spatula to create an even, compact layer that reaches every corner with precision and uniformity.
- Surface Refinement: Gently press and smooth the dough, ensuring a level, seamless base that promises consistent texture and optimal baking performance throughout the dessert.
Notes
- Grease Wisely: Use non-stick cooking spray or softened butter to ensure smooth cake removal, preventing potential sticking and preserving the cake’s delicate texture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Blend cake mix, egg, and melted butter until no dry patches remain, creating a uniform crimson dough that guarantees even flavor distribution.
- Press Gently: Apply light, even pressure when spreading the mixture, avoiding heavy compression that could make the base too dense or tough.
- Temperature Matters: Preheat the oven precisely to maintain consistent heat, which helps achieve the signature gooey interior and perfectly crisp edges.
