In a bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add 2 eggs and powdered sugar; mix until creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is lightly golden and center is just set.
