Description
These light and zesty cake bars are made with just two ingredients, resulting in a moist and tangy treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
- 1 can (15 oz) lemon pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix and lemon pie filling. Stir until well blended. The batter will be thick.
- Spread the Batter:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
- Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch or drizzle with a simple glaze (optional). Enjoy!
Optional Glaze:
- Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled bars for added sweetness and tang.
Notes
- For a citrus twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- These bars are also great topped with whipped cream or a dollop of lemon curd.
