Servings: 15 bars
Calories: 111Kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box angel food cake mix the one-step type where the egg whites are already included in the mix
- 1 can lemon pie filling 21 oz can works well - lemon pudding filling can also work but pie filling provides stronger lemon flavor
- Optional for serving: powdered sugar for dusting or fresh lemon zest sprinkled on top.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling.
- Stir the mixture together until fully combined. The batter will become light and fluffy as the ingredients blend together.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
- Allow the lemon bars to cool completely before slicing. This helps them firm up so they cut cleanly.
Notes
Use a one-step angel food cake mix (the kind that already contains egg whites).
A 21 oz can of lemon pie filling works best for flavor and structure.
Do not overmix - stir just until combined and fluffy.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting so they hold their shape.
Optional: add 1 teaspoon lemon zest for stronger lemon flavor or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
