Ingredients
- 16 ounce angel food cake 1 box
- 22 ounce lemon pie filling 1 can or 1 jar of lemon spread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a deep 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, empty the contents of the box of angel food cake and to it add the lemon pie filling. Whisk it until it's well incorporated, you'll notice it start to foam slightly.
- Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. I lean more towards the 40-minute mark because at 30 minutes, I've found that it's usually not done yet. But feel free to check at 30 minutes and adjust accordingly.

Notes
- Keep a close watch on baking after 30 minutes, checking for a golden top and a set center without jiggle.
- Mix the angel food cake mix and lemon filling thoroughly to achieve a smooth, even batter.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and proper setting.
- Consider topping with powdered sugar or whipped cream for extra flavor and presentation.
- The lemon pie filling can be substituted with other fruit fillings like cherry or blueberry to create different flavored bars.
