Start by mixing together the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and water.
When you’re done mixing, the mixture will resemble cookie dough. Press into a greased 9″ x 13″ dish and top with your favorite add ins.
Now it’s time to make the topping. Cream the cream cheese using a hand mixer, then mix in the eggs, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Pour over the top of your cake mixture, top with toppings, and bake for 40-50 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
