Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 box lemon cake mix 15 ounce
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
For the filling:
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, butter and egg. Press into the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish.
- Combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla eggs in a mixer. Beat until fluffy. Pour over crust.
- Bake in a 325 degree oven for 40-45 minutes (I underbake mine a little to get that definitive separation in layers). Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours (or overnight) for best flavor. ENJOY.
Notes
- When in doubt, underbake. My bars are ready to come out of the oven at about 40 minutes.
- Chill well. I know the cake smells so good when it comes out of the oven, you'll be tempted to dig in right away. But chilling this for at least 4 hours before serving helps it firm up to the right texture. I also LOVE the taste of these bars best when they're cold.
- Can this be made ahead of time? Absolutely. Bake them the night before and keep them covered with foil or plastic wrap in the fridge over night.
