It was so fluffy, just like a souffle, wow!
One minute after taking it out of the oven it deflated and fell in on itself. It went from about 3.5" high to about 1" high. The outside golden brown "crust" is chewy and the center is just like pudding but stays together and can be cut.
Is this the way it should be? It isn't very pretty. I couldn't serve it as a dessert. What did I do wrong?
How long did you hand mix the batter? I did it till the mixture was just incorporated, did not over beat the batter.
What's up with this?
Help, please
peace

EDIT: So should the amount of lemon be by weight or volume? I think that is the problem. I used two 22oz. by volume and took away the two oz. overage.
So which is it, please? I think I just waisted some good lemon filling.

Two Ingredient Lemon Bars......
2 Ingredient Lemon Bars
Oh yeah you read that right only Two simple ingredients to make these melt in your mouth ( middle of the pie) lemon squares!
Yep this is like you cut your self a slice right out of the middle of the pie!
This is all you need:
1 box angel food cake mix( I use Betty Crocker)
2 cans lemon pie filling
I used two 21 oz cans of Comstock pie filling ( total of 42 oz)
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.
NOTE...Mine took the full 25 minutes to get done and did not brown on top at all)
Cool on wire rack and sprinkle with powered sugar. It has a melt in your mouth spongy texture.

I also tried it and mine turned out very heavy and gummy. Taste was pretty good but didn't like the texture at all.

lemon pudding mix infinitely better
Infinitely better is the packaged pie/pudding mixes than canned lemon filling. Making it in the microwave is a breeze! Just be sure it is the cook kind. I have used tthese for years. Does anyone remember when it had a little round ball in the powder? The aroma was glorious. Thanks for sharing recipe.
