How to Make Simple Lemon Cream Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs using an electric mixer on low speed until well combined and smooth.
- Press the cake mixture evenly into the prepared pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 package (3 oz) lemon-flavored gelatin using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition.
- Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared cake layer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor and setting.
