Description
These Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars are the ultimate in quick and easy desserts. With just lemon pie filling and angel food cake mix, you can whip up a bright, fluffy, and sweet treat that’s perfect for potlucks, last-minute gatherings, or when you’re simply craving something citrusy and light.
Ingredients
1 box angel food cake mix (1-step, about 16 oz)
1 can lemon pie filling (about 21 oz)
Instructions
1 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of angel food cake mix with the can of lemon pie filling. Stir until fully combined and fluffy—do not overmix.
3 Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
4 Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
5 Let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Notes
Make sure to use a 1-step angel food cake mix, not the kind that requires separating eggs. These bars are naturally airy and moist, with a light tang from the lemon. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
