How to Make 7-Layer Carrot Cake Bars

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.

Mix cake mix, egg, and butter in a medium-sized bowl until thoroughly combined. Pat evenly into pan. You may need to use the back of a spatula sprayed with cooking spray or dip your fingers in water to get it to spread more easily.
