Recipe:

INGREDIENTS-

1 box yellow cake mix

3 eggs

1 stick of butter, melted

1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened

1 lb powdered sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

Green and yellow food coloring 

Decorator gel for baking in black

Preheat oven to 350°

Prepare the crust-

In a large bowl, combine the box of cake mix, stick of butter (melted), and 1 of the eggs (beaten). Add a few drops of food coloring to tint. 

*I used 6 drops green and 3 yellow* 

Press into a lightly greased 9x13 pan. The mixture will have a thick consistency.

Prepare the filling-

In a clean bowl, combine 2 eggs, the package of softened cream cheese, the powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. An electric or stand mixer will save time but this can be mixed by hand as well.

Pour the filling mixture on top of the crust and bake for 45 minutes to an hour until golden and set.

Once cooled, use the decorator gel to pipe on stitch lines. When this cake is cut into, the green crust is a Oogie Boogie surprise!
