Description
These easy two-ingredient lemon bars are light, fluffy, and bursting with lemon flavor. Made with cake mix and lemon pie filling, they’re the perfect quick dessert for spring, potlucks, or anytime you need a sweet fix fast.
Ingredients
1 box angel food cake mix or yellow cake mix
1 (15 oz) can lemon pie filling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and lemon pie filling. Stir until smooth — no eggs, oil, or water needed.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the center.
Allow to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired, then slice into bars and serve.
Notes
For a fluffier texture, use angel food cake mix; for a denser, richer result, use yellow cake mix.
Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for extra citrus punch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Try topping with whipped cream or a drizzle of glaze for a bakery-style finish.
