Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350° F.

Line a 13x9 inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Microwave margarine in a large microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted. Add cake mix, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice; beat with mixer until well blended. Press 2/3 of the mixture onto bottom of prepared pan.

Beat cream cheese and sugar with mixer until well blended. Add remaining egg, lemon juice and zest; mix well. Pour over crust; top with berries. Pinch small pieces of the remaining cake mix mixture between your fingers; press lightly into cream cheese layer.

Bake 48 to 50minutes or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 1 hour. Use foil handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars. Keep refrigerated.
