Chewy Squares - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Pan Prep
    shortening
    flour
    Bottom Layer
    1 (18 1/4 ounce) classic yellow cake mix (Duncan Hines works best do NOT use the mix with pudding)
    1 egg
    1/2 cup real butter, softened (no substitute)
    Top Layer
    1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
    2 eggs
    1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar (can reserve 3-4 tablespoons for dusting)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a 9\"x13\" baking pan by greasing with shortening and dusting with flour; set aside.
    Place the cake mix, egg and softened stick of butter in a food processor. Process until thoroughly mixed, about a minute. Mixture will be crumbly then will form into a dough.
    Scoop mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly. (I place a piece of plastic wrap over and press with my hand.).
    No need to clean the processor's bowl. To the emptied food processor bowl, place the softened cream cheese, 2 eggs and confections' sugar (hold out a couple of tablespoons if using for dusting). Start pulsing then process until smooth; about a minute. Pour mixture over the cake layer, spreading evenly.
    Bake 300 degress for approximatley 1 hour or until golden brown. Cool completely. Dust (best done using a sieve) with remaining confections sugar, if desired. Cut into squares.
