Angel Food Cake Mix – Any brand of store-bought angel food cake mix will do the trick. You can also use lemon cake mix for an extra burst of lemony flavor. However, the bars will turn out a little denser. Lemon Pie Filling – The key ingredient! Lemon spread and lemon curd are other options if you can’t find lemon pie filling.
This super simple lemon bar recipe eliminates the need for a bunch of ingredients or a long list of steps. It’s a quick and fuss-free way to satisfy your lemon cravings with minimal effort, resulting in a delightful fat-free dessert! To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Then line a deep 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent the bars from sticking. You also want to leave some of the parchment hanging over the sides of the pan for easy removal once the bars are baked. Next, put the angel food cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Then add the lemon pie filling and whisk the mixture together until it’s well combined. You’ll notice the batter starting to foam, which is completely normal and what gives the lemon bars their light texture. After you make the batter, pour it into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Then place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the bars for about 30 to 40 minutes. When they are done the top will be golden brown and the batter will have set. Once baked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan. This will allow them to set and firm up a bit. Then lift the lemon angel food cake bars out of the pan with the parchment paper. Now, cut the bars into squares to serve and sprinkle them with a dusting of powdered sugar if you like.
