Yes, it’s true! It really is only 2 ingredients. Now, I love to cook from scratch most of the time, but even this busy mom will take a short cut every now and then. I don’t think this will replace my from scratch lemon cake recipe, but it is nice that I can both of these ingredients in my pantry and can make a cake at moment’s notice if we have drop in company or an impromptu dinner party.
My Granny actually sent me this recipe as a forward from a friend, so I really have no idea where it came from, but I HAD to give it a try. It was actually called ingredient lemon bars….but ya know…it was nothing like a lemon bar. It was actually the most moist lemon cake that I had tried in a really long time.
What do you think about using a box cake mix? Do you do it? Do you mostly do scratch cakes?
2 Ingredient Lemon Cake
1 box angel food cake mix
1 can lemon pie filling (I used a 23oz jar)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine dry cake mix and pie filling in large bowl. Pour into greased 9 x 13″ baking pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until top is starting to brown.
Cool completely and top with powdered sugar, if desired.

I am looking for my snack now and this recipe is a good choice.
This is cool recipe. I love to make this one since the ingredients are two only. So, interesting recipe and we can save a lot on this recipe.
This is going to be a bake sale item for my daughter’s dog park fundraiser!!
Everyone loves the lemon cakes.
This looks delicious and so easy! That’s my favorite combination. The kids will love it! 🙂
This is so easy I’ll definitely be giving it try, especially since it looks so darn good. I’m not a culinary wizard but even I can handle 2 ingredients. 🙂
Simple and easy 🙂 Thanks for posting!
I saw this earlier, went to the store and bought the two items.
It is soooo darn good!! Thank you for sharing it. I may have to throw the second half away too….
Wow! 2 Ingredients? I hope to make it this weekend.
I got this from another blog and tried it. Nice lemon flavor, sponge type cake. I served it with strawberries and whipped cream. Got approval from all the family!
That is my kind of cake…..quick, easy & delicious….I can’t wait to try it:)
It was really tasty…I ended up throwing out the last 1/3rd though cuz I couldn’t stop eating it. LOL!
