Ingredients:
- 1 box angel food cake mix (dry mix only, unprepared)
- 1 can lemon pie filling (21 ounces)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry angel food cake mix with the lemon pie filling. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined, creating a thick, airy batter.
- Prepare the Pan:
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Pour the lemon and cake mix batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges begin to pull away from the sides.
- As the cake bakes, it will rise significantly. Once removed from the oven, it will sink slightly, creating a dense, bar-like texture.
- Cool and Add Finishing Touches:
- Allow the lemon bars to cool completely in the pan. The sinking process will create a denser, bar-like layer as it cools.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle powdered sugar over the cooled bars.
- Serve:
- Cut into squares and serve! These bars are light, with a bright lemony flavor and a touch of sweetness from the powdered sugar. Perfect as a dessert or snack!
Enjoy your delicious, easy-to-make lemon bars! 🍋
