Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 0.5 cup salted butter
• 1 large egg
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 0.5 cup salted butter
• 2 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 0.75 cup pistachio butter
• 0.5 teaspoon flaky salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure your oven rack is positioned in the middle.
2. Line a baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
3. In a large bowl, add 1 box of yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup melted salted butter, and 1 large egg. Beat together with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.
4. Press the cake mixture evenly into the bottom of the parchment-lined baking dish to form the crust.
5. Wipe out the same bowl, no need to rinse completely.
6. Add 8 oz of room temperature cream cheese, another 1/2 cup of melted salted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat with a mixer until smooth.
7. Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated and smooth.
8. Add 3/4 cup of pistachio butter to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
9. Pour the filling over the crust in the prepared baking dish.
10. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden brown but the center still jiggles slightly.
11. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan to room temperature.
12. Once cooled, cut the cake into squares.
13. Before serving, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of flaky salt over the top for added flavor contrast.
