  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12–15 bars

Ingredients

1 box angel food or yellow cake mix (for lighter or richer flavor)

1 (15 oz) can lemon pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the lemon pie filling and cake mix until well combined.
  3. Grease a 9×13‑inch baking dish.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are set.
  6. Allow to cool completely in the pan for cleaner slicing.
  7. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use angel food cake mix for a lighter, airy texture; yellow cake mix for a richer taste.
  • Let bars cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Add fresh lemon zest or glaze for extra tartness.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze individual bars for up to 2 months.
