I got this recipe out of Taste of Home magazine. Good tasting & easy to make. I have made it with lemon cake mix/frosting and with strawberry cake mix/frosting. You could use any flavor cake mix/frosting you like. Think chocolate will be the next flavor I try!!

Tips for Making Creamy Lemon Cake Bars:
- Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice provides a brighter and more intense flavor compared to bottled or concentrated lemon juice.
- Zest the Lemons: Lemon zest adds a burst of citrusy aroma and flavor to the cake bars. Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the Cake Bars Before Cutting: Chilling the cake bars firms them up and makes them easier to cut into clean and even pieces.
- Serve with Fresh Berries or Whipped Cream: Fresh berries or whipped cream add a refreshing and delicious touch to the lemon cake bars.
