Strawberry Lemonade Bars

I discovered this recipe online at Six Sisters.  It is easy to make and very tasty.  It is perfect for family
gatherings, pot luck dinners, church socials, baby showers, and more.


For the base:
1 package 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
Lemon juice from fresh lemons (don’t use the kind in bottle or plastic squeeze containers!)
3-5 drops yellow food coloring
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 eggs

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, using a hand mixer blend cake mix, butter and egg until well combined , press in the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use mixer to combine powdered sugar and butter. Add lemon juice 1 Tablespoon at a time to form the consistency of thick frosting. (I use 2-3 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. Pour on top of cake mix in the pan, spreading to reach sides, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let cool completely, then spread remaining frosting mixture on top.
