Ingredients

1 (15.25 oz) box angel food cake mix
1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling

Optional Toppings

Powdered sugar
Fresh lemon zest
Whipped cream
Vanilla ice cream
Fresh berries

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the entire box of angel food cake mix with the full can of lemon pie filling. Stir gently until completely smooth without overmixing. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center springs back when touched. Let the bars cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lemon zest before serving if desired.
