Let’s dive into the easy steps to create these delightful lemon cake bars.
Equipment
- 9×13-inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 box Angel Food Cake Mix (must be the one-step, just-add-water kind)
- 21 ounces lemon pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, carefully combine the angel food cake mix and the lemon pie filling. Stir gently until well combined, being careful not to overmix as this can deflate the batter.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan. Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy the light and tangy lemon flavor!
