With the holidays around the corner and Mom throwing down, I declare RECIPE WARS!
This is an easy one…I can make it and people love me for it.

Chess Cake
Preheat oven to 350
Mix together:
1 box Yellow cake mix
1 stick Butter (melted in microwave)
1 egg
Spread evenly into the bottom of greased 9×13 pan
Mix 1 box confectioners sugar (Yes the whole Pound)
Two eggs
1 8 oz package cream cheese (I cheat and buy pre-whipped)
Blend until smooth and creamy
Pour over cake mix
Bake 35-45 minutes (depends on pan type, keep an eye on it so it doesn’t overbrown, you want about an inch of golden goodness around the edges)
And now the hard part:
Let stand in pan overnight to set firm before cutting. Do NOT stick in the ‘fridge to speed it up, bad things happen. You may refridgerate after it sets.
Cut into 1 or 2 inch squares. Any bigger and you have to use a plate instead of your fingers and it’s WAY too rich anyway.
