1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Lemon Cake Mix or 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 eggs
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Step 2
In medium bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar on low speed. Stir in lemon peel and lemon juice until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup; refrigerate. Beat remaining 2 eggs into remaining cream cheese mixture on medium speed until blended. Spread over cake mixture.

Step 3

Recipe Tips

How many lemons do you need for this recipe? One will be fine--it will yield 1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons grated peel and 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice.
Bake bars in the exact pan size called for in a recipe to ensure moist (not overbaked) bars.
Garnish each bar with a curl of lemon peel for an extra-special touch.
