Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, egg, and melted butter; stir until a soft, crumbly dough forms, then press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth; then add the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla, coconut extract, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and melted butter; mix until silky smooth.
  4. Pour the filling over the pressed crust and spread evenly.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine shredded coconut, brown sugar, and granulated sugar; drizzle in melted butter and stir until crumbly, then mix in flour; let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the filling and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown at the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Be patient and allow the bars to cool completely for cleaner cuts. Feel free to add a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream when serving.
You can incorporate variations like using lime juice for a key lime twist or adding berries for a fruity swirl.
These bars can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days; they also freeze well for up to 3 months.
