Banana Cream Cheesecake

I found this on the Kraft Foods website! It was a big hit at our family gathering tonight, so I thought I'd post it here for you all too!

Banana Cream Cheesecake

1 White Cake Mix, divided
4 Eggs, divided
2/3 cup brown sugar, divided
3 tbsp. oil
2 banana's sliced
2- 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 cups milk
4 - 5 oz. cool whip

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Reserve 1 cup dry cake mix, set aside. Mix remaining cake mix with 1 egg, oil, 1/3 brown sugar with a hand mixer. Mixture will be crumbly. Press into bottom of 9x13 greased baking dish. Top with sliced bananas.

Beat cream cheese, remaining 1/3 brown sugar with mixer. Add in reserved 1 cup of dry cake mix. Add in remaining 3 eggs, one at a time, then add lemon juice. Mix for 1 minute. Add in milk slowly and continue to mix. Batter will be thin. Pour over crust & bananas.

Bake for 50 minutes or until brown spots start appearing on top. Remove from oven and let stand for 1 hour. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours. Spread on cool whip, cut and serve. Enjoy!
