Desert in a Flash – Lemon bars

I realize that using boxed cake mixes barely counts as baking, but this desert really is delicious. It’s one of Greg, Dad’s and my favorites. But then again how can anything that involves lemon, cake and cream cheese not be amazing?

Lemon Bars

Ingredients

·         1 Lemon cake mix

·         1 8oz. pkg. Cream cheese softened

·         2 eggs

·         1/3 c. oil

·         1/3 c. sugar

·         1 tsp. lemon juice

Directions

Thoroughly mix cake mix, oil, and one egg until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup. Press remaining mixture into a 13 X 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese, 1 egg, sugar and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Spread over crust. Sprinkle reserved 1 cup cake crumbs over top. Bake an additional 15 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
