Instructions
Cooking
- Prep. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- Mix. Stir the cake mix and lemon pie filling together in a large bowl until no dry spots remain.
- Spread. Scrape the thick batter into the dish and smooth the top.
- Bake. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden on top and set in the center.
- Cool. Cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour, then dust with powdered sugar.
- Slice. Cut into 12 bars with a clean knife.
Notes
Substitutions: Use yellow cake mix for a denser bar, and add a teaspoon of lemon zest for stronger flavor.
Tips: Grease the dish well and mix only until combined so the bars stay tender.
Storage: Keep covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Nutrition does not include the optional powdered sugar.
