Easy 2-Ingredient Lemon Bars
Light, spongy lemon bars made with just angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling. Easy to make and even easier to eat.
Ingredients
- 14.5 to 16 oz box angel food cake mix dry
- 21 oz can lemon pie filling not lemon curd or lemon pudding
- Powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Empty the dry angel food cake mix and the lemon pie filling into a large bowl with tall sides.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until completely combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly to the edges.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center springs back when gently pressed.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting, at least 30 to 45 minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired, cut into 12 bars, and serve.
Notes
Angel food cake mix box sizes vary by brand. Anything between 14.5 and 16 oz works well with one 21 oz can of lemon pie filling. Do not use lemon curd or lemon pudding filling as a substitute. They behave differently and the bars will not set properly. Make sure the bars are fully cooled before cutting. Cutting too early is the most common reason they seem underdone or fall apart
