Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 box (16 ounces) angel food cake mix, dry mix only ($3.44)
- 1 can (21 ounces) lemon pie filling ($3.58)
- Powdered sugar, optional for topping
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Mix: In the baking dish, combine the dry angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling until fully mixed.
- Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- Serve: Slice into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Mixing: Mix thoroughly for best texture. Alternating between a whisk and a wooden spoon works well, and mixing directly in the baking dish saves cleanup.
- Flavor swaps: Other canned pie fillings like cherry, apple, or blueberry can be used in place of lemon.
- Storage: Store bars at room temperature for up to 1 week.
