Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 box angel food cake mix
  • 1 (22-ounce) can lemon pie filling


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling until well incorporated, being careful to avoid overmixing to keep the bars light and airy.
  3. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, then pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly for uniform baking.
  4. Bake the Bars: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the edges slightly pull away from the sides of the pan, indicating doneness.
  5. Cool Down: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly and make slicing easier.
  6. Serve: Slice into squares and serve. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or add whipped cream for a touch of extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For best results, avoid overmixing the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  • You can add a dusting of powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream for additional flavor and presentation.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These bars can be served chilled or at room temperature depending on preference.
