By Paula Deen

JUMP TO RECIPE

Ingredients

  • 1 (18 1/4 oz) package yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 2 sticks melted, divided butter
  • 2 teaspoons pulverized culinary lavender
  • 1 (8 oz) package softened cream cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 large juice and zest lemons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Combine the cake mix, egg, 1 stick butter and lavender and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and 1 stick butter and beat together. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. Spread mixture over the cake batter and bake until lightly browned on top and set but still jiggly, about 45 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.

Dear Paula, This cake is amazing! I love all of your recipes. You are a culinary genius! I really hope that you are ok. Everyone in my family is so worried about you! My seven year old said, "please tell Ms. Paula to move over to TLC or the History Channel"! I must say that I think thats a great idea! I have not watched the Food Network or purchased a Smithfield Ham and I won't! Please let your fans know how we can help you. You have a huge fan support waiting to help! I wish you and your family all the best!! Jennifer August 9, 2013

This dessert has the equivalent of 189 teaspoons of sugar. It would take you 50 hours of walking to burn that amount of energy.
