Lemon Cake Mix Bars

I bought several lemon cake mixes at the beginning of the summer as I like to make a lemon jello cake every once in a while. This week, while going through my recipe box, I remembered a quick cake mix bar that I used to make for my kids lunch box meals. It’s a moist and dense bar with a lemony glaze that packs a punch! My family likes to top this bar with a dollop of vanilla ice cream for a summer evening treat.

Ingredients

For the bars:

• 1 box lemon cake mix
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1/2 cup white baking chips
• 2 eggs

For the glaze:

• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp lemon zest, optional
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Prepare a 7×11” or 9×9” baking pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Combine cake mix, oil, and eggs. 
2. Stir until blended. 
3. Stir in baking chips. Pat into baking pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-22 minutes or until light golden brown. 
5. Cool completely.
6. Mix powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice to make a glaze. 
7. Pour and spread over cooled bars. Cut and serve.
