Two Ingredient Lemon Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 can (21 ounces) lemon pie filling
• 1 box (16 ounces) angel food cake mix

Optional Toppings:

• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

• Preheat the Oven:
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

• Combine Ingredients:
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire can of lemon pie filling and the angel food cake mix. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

• Transfer to the Pan:
• Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

• Bake:
• Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

• Cooling Process:
• Once baked, the cake will rise significantly and then sink as it cools, creating a bar-like consistency. Allow the lemon bars to cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.

• Optional Topping:
• Dust the cooled lemon bars with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. This step is entirely optional but adds a delightful sweetness and visual appeal.

• Slice and Serve:
• Cut the lemon bars into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference. Serve and enjoy the delicious simplicity of these two-ingredient lemon bars!
