An easy and delicious spring or summer dessert!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, rinsed, lst dry
  • 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon, divided
  • 1 box yellow cake mix, butter or lemon
  • 4 eggs, divided
  • 1 stick butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese

Preparation:

In a bowl, combine blueberries with sugar, lemon juice and half of the lemon zest. Set aside.

Mix cake mix with 1 egg, softened butter and the remaining lemon zest. Pat into a buttered and floured 13- x 9-inch baking pan.

In a mixing bowl with hand-held electric mixer, beat confectioners' sugar with cream cheese and remaining 3 eggs until smooth. Gently stir in blueberry mixture; pour over cake. Bake in a preheated 325° oven for about 45 to 55 minutes, or until browned. Let cool completely; chill and cut into squares.
Serve with fresh blueberries and a dusting of confectioners' sugar, if desired. Store in the refrigerator.

"I cooked this a couple of days ago. My family LOVED this recipe. They ate it out of the oven-cooled some. I have not served this chilled. They can't get enough of this recipe. I will DEFINITELY make this again."
