Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 30m

Yield 24-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 angel food cake mix
1 1/4 cups cold water
1 can lemon flavor instant pudding and pie filling
1 can lemon frosting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350.
  • Beat cake mix and water in extra-large glass or metal bowl on low speed for 30 seconds; beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • Add lemon pie filling and mix well.
  • Pour into ungreased 15x10 jelly roll pan.
  • Bake 25 minutes.
  • Cool and frost.

Tips:

  • Ensure your butter is cold before you start. This will help the crust stay flaky and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • If you're using a stand mixer, be sure to keep the speed on low. Mixing the batter on high speed can cause the crust to become tough.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can also make the crust tough.
  • Before you pour the batter into the pan, be sure to spray it with cooking spray or grease it with butter.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Don't overbake the bars or the crust will become dry and the filling will be runny.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife. You can also dip the knife in hot water before cutting to make it easier.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lemon angel bars are a delicious and easy dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a flaky crust, a creamy lemon filling, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
