Ingredients
- 1 box angel food cake mix (approximately 16 ounces)
- 1 (22-ounce) can lemon pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your lemon cake bars.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling until they are well incorporated. Be careful to avoid overmixing to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Pour Batter: Pour the combined batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the edges begin to pull away from the pan.
- Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice into 16 squares. For extra indulgence, optionally dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bars light and fluffy.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- Cooling completely before slicing helps maintain the bars’ structure.
- Optional toppings like powdered sugar or whipped cream enhance flavor and presentation.
