Lemon Butter Pound Cake Bars

Submitted by Bonnie Young

"I found this recipe on the Betty Crocker website. It sounded so good I had to try it. I love it, it is a very refreshing cake with lemon tartness. Very easy to put together as you just mix it all in a saucepan. Hope you like it too! It is good with a fruit sauce on top like raspberry, blueberry or strawberry."
