How to Make Lemon Cheese Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, 1 large egg, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Mix until crumbly.
- Reserve 1 cup of the crumbly mixture. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While the crust is baking, in a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting.
- Once completely cool, cut into bars and enjoy!
