Ingredients You’ll Need For Our Frosted Gooey Lemon Bars Recipe:
- Lemon cake mix
- Butter
- Egg
- Powdered sugar
- Lemon juice
- Yellow food coloring
- Cream cheese
How To Make Our Frosted Gooey Lemon Bars Recipe:
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Then in a medium size mixing bowl combine the lemon cake mix, slightly beaten egg, and butter and mix it all together.
Once that is done, get out your 9×13 inch baking pan and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
After the pan is greased, pour the cake mix layer into the bottom of the pan and press it down to create the gooey cake layer.
Now in a large mixing bowl combine the powdered sugar and butter.
Then pour in lemon juice and mix it together. Add enough lemon juice to create a thick like frosting consistency.
Next add in the softened cream cheese and yellow food coloring and continue to mix up the frosting until it is well combined.
When you have it all mixed together, take one cup of the frosting and set it aside for later. DO NOT skip this step.
Add eggs to the remaining frosting mixture and beat it all together until it is fluffy.
Once that is done, spread it on top of the cake mix layer and place it in the oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is just starting to turn a light golden brown.
When it is done, remove the bars from the oven and let it cook down completely.
After the lemon bars have cooled, spread the reserved lemon frosting on top. Then just cut the bars and serve them up!
