Main Ingredients

  • 1 box Angel food or yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) Lemon pie filling

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, pour in the cake mix and add the entire can of lemon pie filling. No eggs, oil, or water needed!
  • Stir everything together until just combined. The mixture will be thick and gooey—don’t worry, that’s exactly how it should be.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared dish and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and the bars are set in the center.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  • Slice into bars, serve, and enjoy the zesty goodness.

Notes

Make sure to grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking. Blend the ingredients until just combined; over-mixing can make the bars tough. For a more intense lemon flavor, add a bit of lemon zest to the mixture before baking.
