In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 2 of the eggs on medium speed until it forms a soft, cohesive dough. If you'd like, you can add 1/4 cup of nuts or chocolate chips to add a little flavor and texture contrast.

Remove the dough from the mixer; you don't need to clean the bowl or the beater, you can just re-use for the filling. Pat the dough into the prepared pan, with a slight "lip" on the sides of about half an inch to accommodate the cream cheese batter, which will be poured on top of this crust.
