Two Ingredient Lemon Bars

Two Ingredient Lemon Bars

Ingredients

1 box angel food cake mix( I use Betty Crocker)

2 cans lemon pie filling (2- 21 oz cans of Comstock pie filling total of 42 oz)

Directions

Mix dry cake mix and cans of pie filling together in large bowl.

I just mixed it by hand…

Pour into greased 9 x 13? baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until top is starting to brown.

Cool on wire rack and sprinkle with powered sugar. It has a melt in your mouth spongy texture.
