I am in love with making 2 Ingredient desserts. Isabella is my baker, but she was bummed there weren’t more steps. However, these angel food cake lemon bars turned out amazing and light! This would be perfect for brunch or a cookout as well.
Angel Food Cake MixPyrex 9X13Lemon Pie Filling
2 Ingredient Lemon Bars Ingredients:
- Lemon Pie Filling– This was right next to other pie filling in the baking aisle at my store.
- Angel Food Cake– You will need just the powder from the box mix nothing else on the ingredient list.
- Powdered Sugar
how to make lemon bars with cake mix
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the pie filling with the angel food cake powder in a bowl. I love how easy these 2 ingredient lemon bars with angel food cake mix are to make.
This is a thick batter so stir slowly so you don’t make a mess.
Grease your cake pan with shortening.
Pour the mixed lemon bar batter into the 9X13 pan, I used a glass Pyrex pan to bake mine in.
Bake the lemon bars for about 24-28 minutes, the top of the cake will brown a bit as it gets done.
Remove and allow to partly cool at least before serving.
You can sprinkle with powdered sugar, one of my kids also put spray whipped topping on theirs.
How To Store two ingredient lemon bars
Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to three days after making them. These taste delicious cold.

I put lemon frosting on mine !
Irene says
needs something to bring lemon flavor out.
DENNIS says
Can you use cooking spray ?
B. Wilson says
Could you use a lemon pie filling mixed up as you would(sherrifs) from a box instead of a can of lemon pie filling.
Jenny says
I have not tried that so I am not sure.
Jenny says
Yes you can
mary knight says
the box of angel food cake mix has an envelope of meringue mix and a bag of cake mix do you mix like it says on box i mixed all together and it was very thick heavy and dense.it was mixed dry. these look so good just need verification on cake mix.
Jenny says
My angel food cake mix didn’t come with that. It was the box of angel food cake mix and a can of lemon pie filling.
Sandra Denlinger says
WOW!!! Just made these. They look wonderful but I hope they fall a bit. Definitely filled my bowl.
Kathy says
Mine looked great when it came out of the oven then fell is this normal or did I do something wrong
Jayne` says
Is lemon pie filling really that expensive? Can you use any kind of pie filling?
“
Jenny says
I’ve gotten mine for less, but there are times I haven’t been able to find it in a store, so that’s why I linked to it. You can use other pie fillings in the recipe.
Kiki says
Tastes like cake vs lemon squares I’m use to.
Brenda says
What size can of lemon filling or how many oz.?
Brenda Morgan Zimmerman says
How many oz. Of lemon pudding?
Sandra says
not lemon pudding it is lemon pie filling
Christy G says
These lemon bars sound good. I’ll have to make a batch.
Kim Carberry says
Yum! These look and sound so good.
Kathy Rice says
Mine was too fluffy and never fell like a lemon bar.
Jan R says
It’s an angel food cake and it’s not supposed to fall.
Jan R says
I went back after reading the reviews and started all over. It does say Lemon Bar but using an Angel Food cake mix I would not expect it to fall much. I think maybe greasing the pan and using a 9X13 pan may keep it from normal rising. All instructions for Angel Food cakes warn not to grease the pan so it will rise. Look at the cherry Angel Food picture it shows using the tube pan and it rises like one should. Both recipes call for a can of pie filling and a box of cake mix. There are two kinds of Angel Food cake mix.. One has two packages inside and the other has one. Use the one that has one package. I’m not sure it would work with the two. I’m in Texas the mix that has one package inside is usually what we have. If you want the one that has two inside you have to hunt for it an you may have to go to several grocery stores. That is the one my grandmother used and her cakes were great. I use the one that has one package because that’s what we have here and I don’t have time to hunt for the one with two packages.
wendiser says
Where’s the crust? This is a dense lemon cake, not the lemon squares that everyone loves. I added a crust and lemon zest to make them like I expect a lemon square to be.
Carolyn says
You can put another can of pie filling on top of the bars. without the powder sugar on.Put cool whip on and you have a Lemon tort.
Pat says
I followed the recipe to the letter. It blew up so high in the 9×13 that it overflowed and burned all over the oven floor. What did I do wrong?
Debi says
Made these today, and they were a hit! So delicious!
