Eleven Eleven Mississippi

Yield: 12 to 16 servings

Nonstick cooking spray or butter, to prepare pan

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix

4 eggs, divided

5 cups powdered sugar, divided

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray
or grease lightly with butter.

Combine softened butter and cake mix in a large bowl. Beat on low speed with an
electric mixer until combined, then on medium speed until well blended, about 2
minutes total. Reduce mixer speed to low; add 1 egg; mix thoroughly. Add 1 more
egg; mix thoroughly. Spread, then press the mixture into prepared pan.

Set aside 4 teaspoons powdered sugar to use as a garnish. In a clean bowl with
clean beaters, beat remaining powdered sugar and cream cheese on low speed
until combined, then on medium speed until well blended, about 2 minutes total.

Reduce mixer speed to low; beat in remaining 2 eggs, 1 at a time, mixing
thoroughly after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Pour into pan.

Bake until set and lightly browned, about 30 minutes in a metal pan or 35
minutes in a glass pan, rotating the pan after 15 minutes. Serve warm or let
cool and refrigerate, sprinkling with reserved 4 teaspoons powered sugar before
serving.
