2 ingredient lemon bars
 

We don't have either here so I'll stick to the 'normal' recipe of lemon bars. They're very good, I shouldn't make those too often :)

Okay. That's fine. Enjoy your version!

Sounds yummy...will try soon. Thanks!

Sounds good but I may just stick with a scrambled egg. :shock: :D Sorry! I'm in a silly mood and just couldn't resist. :p
Seriously though, it sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing. :)

I'm all for quick and easy for me and good treats to share. Thank you for sharing.

Made these last week, they are okay, really too sweet for me, I prefer the "normal" recipe.

I made it with apple pie filling and it was really good. I'll have to try it with lemon. I thought I only used one can of the apple though.

OMG Nessie NO YOU DIDN'T!!!! :shock: :p

I was taking a drink (to wash down my morning meds) when I
read your post. Had to clean up my mess (thankfully only water)
and start over on my pills.

That just cracked me up.

But they do sound good. I might have to give them a try next week
for our company Christmas pot luck lunch.

Sounds delicious. Can't have too many lemon bars recipes and this sounds so easy. Thanks for sharing.

what size container of lemon pie filling do you use? There are small one and large ones please put the oz size. I have used this recipe with crushed pineapple and it is also very good.

I know what you mean, Neesie. Sometimes you just don't want a warm, soft, tangy sugar-coated lemon bar..you just feel like a dry scrambled egg. NOT!!! Very funny.

Sounds like a wonderful quick recipe. Just what we need for the Holiday season, freeing us up for quilt time. :D

I've done the same recipe but use only one can of lemon pie filling. After the bars are cooled, I dust very lightly with powdered sugar. It just looks nicer. I just made a recipe last night using one box of Angel Food cake mix, 1 can Cherry Pie filling and about 2/3 c. of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa. Add cocoa to dry cake mix, stir until blended, add the can of pie filling, stir again until well blended. Grease, or spray a 9x13" pan and bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. This is delicious! No fat, no cholesterol and it tastes like Black Forest cake. If you really want to go over the top, you can add a touch of chocolate frosting, but you really don't need to.

The recipe sounds wonderful but I think using the one can like oh munner suggests might do it. And her recipe for faux Black Forest cake sounds scrumptious!

Be still, my heart! This sounds sooooooo heavenly!!! :thumbup:

I don't bake much but added this to my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

I did the same thing with strawberry pie filling. Wow, rich rich rich!

Is there a substitute for angel food cake mix? We can't get it here, just the normal cake mix.

Sounds yummy and soooooooooo easy! Thanks

Easy, will have to try it, thanks.

Not really you could use white cake mix but it probably will not have the proper texture or volume....

Alyce, your lemon bars look great :-) whoever said you can't have too many lemon bars has apparently not seen my booty ....I have no self control oh wait that's a me problem.

This turns out pretty good.

Chocolate Cherry Cake 350

1 Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake mix
21 oz. can cherry pie filling
1 tsp. almond extract (may use vanilla)
2 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13x9" pan with nonstick baking spray containing flour and set aside. In large bowl, Mix together by hand. Put into greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Do not mix too much. Batter will be thick. Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Ice while warm.

Sounds like it's really good. I love lemon bars.

Does anybody know how many cups are in that can of "Comstock" pie filling? Could not get that can but I can make lemon pie filling mix and then measure the same amount but I don't want to use too much. I know -21 oz- can but
I need cup amounts. Hopefully someone will read this soon as I need to make it for a party.

Well the hard part is that it is 21oz by weight not volume. Looking at a can of comstock berry filling I my have best guess it that 21 oz is about to 2 cups. I guess you could make your filling let it cool then weigh out the 42oz the recipe calls for.

This sounds like my kind of recipe -- quick, easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing.

OMG.. this sounds terrific. I've done the Angel Food with a normal cake mix for the 3-2-1 Cakes and they are good. Lemon Pie filling is a bit more elusive. Seems like stores around me only carry Apple, Cherry and Blueberry. It's like the whole town has no adventure for eating.. lol

Okay, I tried this recipe today and tasty as it is, I baked mine for a full forty five minutes, in the middle of the oven with accurate temperature. Ha ha!

The batter came up over the 9 x 13" cake pan. I had to add foil around the edges so as not to burn. My test skewer came out clean.

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.

I haven't tried this yet but after reading your post, wonder if adding egg whites would help.

The egg whites are in the cake mix!

Yes, but was wondering if adding more would help counter the denseness/moistness of the pie filling.

I tend to experiment, when I bake. :)

I made this dessert using strawberry pie filling and you're right it isn't pretty. Powdered sugar can hide a multitude of ugly, and a fresh berry on top of each piece makes for a nice looking dessert. IMHO

tried these today, Sunday, They are wonderful

I love quick and easy recipes especially this time of the yr so this will be on my list this yr. Maybe at my cookie bake this Saturaday. Easy to put together while mixing up and scooping the cookies.

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.
