These are divine! Sort of a cross between a traditional lemon bar and a great lemon cake, how awesome is that? The recipe is from the “Six Sisters’ Stuff”. They were all gone by the end of the night. I need to make them again soon!
1 lemon cake mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg, slightly beaten
Combine above and mix with fork. (I did it in with my mixer.) Press down in 9 x 13″ pan with greased bottom.
2 – 3 cups powdered sugar (I used 3)
3 – 4 tablespoons butter (I used 4)
lemon juice (I think I ended up using the juice from 2 small lemons)
3 – 5 drops yellow food coloring (I used a lot more than this)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350. Mix powdered sugar and butter. Add enough lemon juice to form consistency of thick frosting. Mix in cream cheese and yellow food coloring. Set aside 1 cup of frosting to spread on later. Add eggs to remaining frosting mixture and beat til fluffy. Spread on top of cake mix in pan and bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Let cool completely and then spread reserved frosting on top.
