  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
  • 4 ounces PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 7 tablespoons butter, melted, divided

  3. Bake 40 to 45 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cut into 24 pieces. Cover and refrigerate leftover cake.
