Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add the eggs, vanilla, & butter and beat together.

After it cools, lightly sprinkle cake with powdered sugar.
