Description

Light, fluffy, and bursting with zesty lemon flavor, these Lemon Cake Bars are an easy dessert made with just two ingredients. Perfect for any occasion, they’re tangy, sweet, and ready in just 35 minutes!


Ingredients

1 box angel food cake mix

1 (22-ounce) can lemon pie filling


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling until well incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and edges pull slightly away from the pan.
  5. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
  6. Slice into squares and serve. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or add whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

For added zest, mix a teaspoon of lemon zest into the batter.

These bars can be topped with a lemon glaze, shredded coconut, or fresh berries for variations.

Ensure the angel food cake mix is a one-step variety (no additional ingredients needed).
