Directions

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the cake mix, buttermilk, oil and egg in a large bowl and, using an electric hand mixer, blend together until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

For the filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the sugar, yogurt, butter and vanilla. Spread over the cake mixture. Bake 40 to 45 minutes. You want the center to be a little gooey, so do not over bake.

    First of all I wanted a full cake so I doubled the recipe with a butter cake mix instead of the yellow (butter cake. I then added a bit more oil and a bit more Buttermilk because the bottom layer seemed a little dry, hard to stir. Topping on this cake was delish and reminded me of a cheesecake This is going to a ladies committee meeting today and can't wait to see what they say about it. 9x9 really 9x13 is to small for double recipe.
