Ingredients

  • 2 1.2 oz. bag freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 15.25 oz. box lemon cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable or canola oil

For glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Place freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor and pulse until they become a fine powder. Add to a large bowl. Add lemon cake mix, eggs and oil. Stir until well combined. The mixture will be thick. Press into the prepared pan. Bake for 17-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the bars cool, make the glaze. Whisk together powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and zest. If the glaze is too thick, add another tablespoon of lemon juice. Drizzle and smooth over cooled bars. Slice and serve.
