For the Cake Base:

  • 1 box yellow or butter yellow cake mix

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Stir until it forms a thick, dough-like consistency.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to flatten it out.
