Two Ingredient Lemon Cake Bars

Now you know I love me a lemon!

I even did a tablescape
filled with lemons

I must thank
Jessie at
Living Practically
 for sharing this recipe.
It is quick, easy and oh so tasty!

After reading through the comments 
I wanted to make sure the instructions
were very clear as some people 
can take something so simple and
try to make it difficult.
I won't let that happen to you!

All you need is a box of Angel Food cake mix
and a can of lemon pie filling.
Both of these can be found in the bakery aisle
of your local grocery store.

I took photos of the sizes that I used
so that you know exactly what to get.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix the two together, by hand, 
until moist.
Don't add any eggs or oil!
 Just the box of cake mix 
and the can of pie filling!
DO NOT use a mixer!
Don't even think about it!
Seriously, step away from any power tools!
You are not trying to incorporate air 
like when you make a regular cake.
Got it?  Hand. Mix. Only.
And don't over stir!

Place the mixture into a 9x13 square cake pan.
Do Not grease or flour the pan!
Remember how I said this
was an easy recipe? 
Do not go for that
spray can of Pam!
No grease. No Flour. Got it?

Now I do have a habit of
veering on my own when I cook.
I grated some fresh lemon peel over the mix.
One can not have too much
lemon!

Place in your preheated oven and bake
until the top is a soft golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Test like your momma taught you, with a toothpick.

While it's still hot from the oven sprinkle 
with powdered sugar.

Allow to cool completely and then
cut into bars.

(Isn't that cake plate amazingly cute?
I won it at a giveaway 
over at 
Bargain Hunting (and chatting) With Laurie)

Keep in mind, these have more of a
cake texture than a true lemon bar.
Mr. B loved them!
I caught him several times with
powdered sugar evidence 
on his face and hands!

So what do you think?
