I came across this recipe on Pinterest recently, and since lately I’ve been a dessert making fiend I had to try it. These bars are so good that they rival the s’mores bars I posted last month! When I was photographing them I said to myself, “How about a photo with a bite taken out of the bar? That might look good!” I tried to take just one bite, but I accidentally ate the whole bar. Three bars later I decided I better scrap the photo-with-a-bite-taken-out idea, or I was going to eat the whole pan. Seriously, you have to try these.
Crust:
1 box strawberry cake mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 tablespoons lime zest
Topping:
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup lime juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix crust ingredients and press into 9×13 pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Mix together topping ingredients and pour over crust. Bake for an additional 25 minutes, until set. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while warm. Cool. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Hahaha, the dangers of food blogging.
Haha – I probably would have eaten the whole pan! ;) Love the photo with your reflection in the bowl. Looks yummy, I’ll have to try these soon for sure.
Hmmm – looks so yummy – love the colors!
This, quite literally, caused me to salivate at my desk… right as my boss walked in. Beautiful! Can’t wait to try it!

No kidding, I need to find a healthy recipe to try next!
Wow…just had a Pavlavian response to this! :) So, now I have to 1. wipe the drool from my desk, and 2. pick up ingredients for these on the way home today.
i love citrusy desserts. i think i may just have something like this pinned as well. props to you for actually making the things on your food boards ;)
I have GOT to try this recipe. I wonder how it would taste if you mixed in diced strawberries? So simple, yet so delightful, I’m sure! Le sigh…
I’m going to try to make this tonight. But I’m going to mix in a few fresh strawberries. This will be the first thing I cook in out new home:) I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Yummy! Perfect for summer. I have those plates from anthro too!
Looks sooooo yummy – I can not find the Strawberry cake mix! What is the brand?
Thanks
I’m not sure what brand I used—it was just in the baking aisle of the grocery store with all the other cake mixes. I found it at Harris Teeter.
Both Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker make a good strawberry cake mix.
So glad you like the bars! :)
