Can I use a different type of cake mix for this recipe?

For this specific 2-ingredient version, you must use Angel Food Cake mix. The mix contains the necessary egg whites and leavening to react with the pie filling. A regular yellow or white cake mix would require eggs and oil to achieve the right texture.

Do I need to add water, eggs, or oil as directed on the cake mix box?

No! Ignore the instructions on the back of the box. For Easy 2 Ingredient Cake Mix Lemon Bars, you only use the dry mix and the lemon pie filling. The moisture in the filling is sufficient.

How should I store leftover lemon bars?

Store leftover bars in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best freshness.

Can I freeze Easy 2 Ingredient Cake Mix Lemon Bars?

Yes, these bars freeze quite well. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
