I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine. I like lemon and I know my father in law loves lemon bars so I thought I'd try this twist and see what he thought.
Creamy Lemon Cake Bars
Ingredients:
Crust:
1 pkg. lemon cake mix
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
Filling:
1 can (16oz) lemon frosting
1 pkg. cream cheese
2 eggs
1. Beat cake mix, butter and egg in a large bowl until crumbly. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
2. Beat frosting and cream cheese in another bowl until smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping. Add eggs to remaining mixture; beat on low speed until combined. Spread over crust.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 34-40 minutes or until filling is set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Spread reserved frosting mixture over top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.
Husband Rating:
He liked them, but lemon isn't his favorite. I loved these bars. The cake mix makes a cookie bottom and these kind of reminded me of a lemon cheesecake-like bar. Very tasty. My father in law gave me two thumbs up for them too. :)
