Ingredients

  • 1 box lemon cake mix 15.25 ounces
  • 3 large eggs divided, room temperature
  • 1 cup salted butter* very soft and divided, 2 sticks total
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar 260 grams
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 pint blueberries divided
  • extra powdered sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 9x13" baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, 1 egg and 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick).
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add in the remaining 2 eggs, vanilla and 1/2 cup butter. Mix on low speed until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in the powdered sugar on low speed until smooth.
  • Fold in the lemon zest and blueberries, reserving about 1/2 cup of blueberries for the top of the dessert.
  • Spread the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust in pan. Then sprinkle with remaining blueberries.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until center is set but still gooey. The edges of the cake will be very lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Cut into bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the bars. Place in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
