Jason Smith's Country Bling Lemon Bars
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, it’s always so refreshin’. These bars give y’all the great taste of lemon in a simple three ingredient recipe—what could be better.
Serves 24
Ingredients:
box angel food cake mix, (must say, “just add water”)
1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling
1 lemon, zested and sliced
Garnish:
Powdered sugar
Whipped topping
Angel food cake is called a sponge cake for a reason, it is a great base to soak up whatever flavors you add to it.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray a 9x13 cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, pie filling, and lemon zest, fold until combined.
Pour into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool, cut into 24 squares.
