Ingredients

For The Base:

  • 15¼ ounce strawberry cake mix
  • ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 egg slightly beaten

For The Center/Frosting:

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice (add more if needed)
  • 3-5 drops yellow food coloring
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, butter and egg until well combined, press in the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and butter. Add enough lemon juice to form the consistency of thick frosting - about 1-2 Tablespoons.
  • Mix in cream cheese and yellow food coloring until smooth and creamy.
  • Set aside 1 cup of mixture to use later as frosting.
  • Add eggs to the remaining frosting mixture and beat until fluffy.
  • Spread on top of cake mix in the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let cool completely, then spread remaining frosting mixture on top.

Notes

  • These freeze great in an airtight freezer container.
