Ingredients

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. lemon extract

Directions

In a bowl, combine the dry cake mix, one egg and oil until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup for topping. Press the remaining crumb mixture into a greased 13-inch x 9-inch x 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.

In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; add the sugar, extract and remaining egg. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
