These 2 ingredient lemon bars with cake mix are quick to make in 30 minutes and easy to make with just a couple of ingredients! They're packed with refreshing lemon citrus flavour and a delicious dessert for spring!
I make these lemon squares a lot throughout the spring and summer because they're so lemony and refreshing! They're foolproof from how easy they are (so fun for kids to join in on) so anyone can make them!
I like making them during the spring at Easter and even Christmas too! Everyone loves them and can't ever believe they're made with only 2 ingredients!
Ingredients
- Boxed Angel Food Cake Mix
- Canned Lemon Pie Filling
See the recipe card below for the ingredient measurements.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 - Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Step 2 - Mix: Add the lemon pie filling and angel cake mix to a large bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until combined (don't over mix).
Step 3 - Bake: Transfer the batter to the 9x13 baking dish and bake on the middle rack uncovered for 30-40 minutes. There shouldn't be any jiggle and the top should be browned. Don't be alarmed if it's puffy after baking; this is normal and will deflate as it cools. Wait until it's completely cooled to cut into squares. Sprinkle with icing sugar as desired (optional).
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months.

Description
These 2 ingredient lemon bars with cake mix are quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
- Angel Food Cake Mix: 1 box (15.25 oz)
- Lemon Pie Filling: 1 can (21 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- Mix: Add the lemon pie filling and angel cake mix to a large bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until combined (don't over mix).
- Bake: Transfer the batter to the 9x13 baking dish and bake on the middle rack uncovered for 30-40 minutes. There shouldn't be any jiggle and the top should be browned. Don't be alarmed if it's puffy after baking; this is normal and will deflate as it cools. Wait until it's completely cooled to cut into squares. Sprinkle with icing sugar as desired (optional).
Notes
Lining the baking dish with parchment paper will help you lift the bars out of the dish so you can easily cut them.
While baking it will puff up and rise, so bake it on the middle rack.
If you have a smaller oven than standard, consider baking it on one rack lower.
Before cutting into the bars, give them time to deflate and completely cool before cutting.
Dusting with icing sugar should be the last step because the bars need to be cooled; otherwise, the sugar will just disintegrate into the bars. I use a mesh strainer to sprinkle!
