2-Ingredient Lemon Bars

These 2-Ingredient Lemon Bars bake up like light, airy lemon cake squares with a lightly golden top. Canned lemon pie filling adds both moisture and tart lemon flavor to the angel food cake mix.

What You’ll Need

  • Angel food cake mix. Use one 16-ounce box. Stir the dry mix directly into the pie filling.
  • Lemon pie filling. Use the entire 21-ounce can to make the batter.

How to Tell When the Lemon Bars Are Done

The batter will look fluffy as you stir it together. Spread it evenly in the baking dish and bake until the top is lightly golden and the center is set. Let the bars cool completely in the dish so the soft crumb holds together when you slice it.
