Ingredients
  

  • Bars:
  • 1 box about 16.25 oz white cake mix
  • 1 tsp. lime zest finely zested
  • 3 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup 1 square butter, softened
  • Glaze:
  • 1/2 c. mashed strawberries
  • 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. lime zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a 9x13" pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together cake mix, lime zest, lime juice, egg, and butter. Press or pat it into prepared pan.
  • Bake for approximately 11-12 minutes. Remove from the oven before the edges begin to brown so the bars will be soft.
  • While it's baking, prepare the glaze by mashing berries, then stirring in powdered sugar and lime zest. Place glaze in the refrigerator until ready to serve the bars.
  • Remove bars from the oven, when done, and allow to cool completely. Pour chilled glaze over and slice into squares just before serving so the bars don't get soggy. Or, serve the bars by themselves with the glaze on the side and allow everyone to drizzle the glaze on their individual slices.
