Base

Method

Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Base

    Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Filling

  1. 6

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until creamy. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.

  2. 7

    Spread the Filling

    Once the base is baked and cooled, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the top.

Topping

  1. 8

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

  2. 9

    Top the Dessert

    Spread the whipped cream over the cream cheese filling. Decorate with fresh berries on top.

  3. 10

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Cut into squares and enjoy!
