Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15 oz) angel food cake mix (1-step mix only)
  • 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 rubber spatula or large spoon
  • 1 9x13-inch baking pan (glass or metal)

  • Knife (for slicing into bars)
  • Plastic wrap or airtight container (for storing)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling. Stir gently until just combined.
  3. Pour mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and springy to the touch.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.

📦 Storage Instructions:
  1. Room Temp: Up to 2 days in an airtight container
  2. Fridge: Up to 5 days
  3. Freezer: Up to 2 months (wrap bars individually and store in airtight bag)

Notes

  • Use only 1-step angel food cake mix (no egg/butter versions).
  • Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until combined.
  • For gooey texture, bake closer to 25 minutes; for firmer bars, go to 30.
