Ingredients
- 1 box angel food cake mix
- 1 (22-ounce) can lemon pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cool Down: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly and make slicing easier.
- Serve: Slice into squares and serve. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or add whipped cream for a touch of extra indulgence.
