Ran across this recipe, this morning, and it looks like it might be one of those fall back on staples when you need a fast dessert but have little time to fuss. The recipe also seems to lend itself to some interesting changes according to one's mood and kitchen resources at the time of need.
Butter Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened not melted
Combine ingredients, mixing by hand, and pour into a 13x9x2-inch cake pan.
Spread
1-2 cups powered sugar, depending on how sweet you want it.
8 ounces cream cheese
2 eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix the sugar, cream cheese, and eggs thoroughly. Spread over the cake mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
*Seems to me, if you cut the sugar in the spread topping, you might consider adding a thin layer of jam on the cake mixture before you top it with the spread.
