Two Ingredient Lemon Cake

In preparation for the 4th of July it is Red, White, and Blue Week here at RMK!  All week long, I will share with you recipes that will help you show your patriotism on the 4th for your celebration.  We are starting of the week with a lovely recipe for a two ingredient lemon cake. Technically, I used more than 2 ingredients because I topped the cake with berries and whipped cream.  However, the actual cake itself is only 2 ingredients – an angel food cake mix and a can of lemon pie filling.  Yes that it is!

Those 2 simple ingredients create a cake that give you a sponge -like cake with a light lemony flavor.  It is so much better than those little sponge cake cups you can get at the store.  Now, I only topped my two ingredient lemon cake with strawberries, but just throw a few blueberries on top and you have your red, white, and BLUE  dessert for your celebration has never been easier.

  2. I decided to bake this in two loaf pans instead of the 9 x 13 pan. Not sure if this was the correct thing to do. It is very good and came out of the pans exactly like an angel food cake does, but it was not cakey, more like a very thick pudding. It is sticky as others have said, but if you cut it with a sawing motion like you do with an angel food cake, it cuts well. Next time will make it 9 x 13 and see if that makes a difference. Also had to bake it longer than suggested.

  5. Do you make the angel food cake directions from box (adding water) and then add in filling or just the mix and filling?
    Thanks…looks really good.

  6. I’ve made something similar with various pie fillings (blueberry, strawberry, cherry, peach..) I’m going to have to try it with lemon!

  7. I made this last night and it was so tasty but….it wasn’t as cakey looking as your photo and very hard to get out of the pan…super sticky. I actually baked it about 5 minutes longer too. Do you have any tips? Should I spray the pan, bake it longer? It was also very hard to cut…..it stuck to whatever knife I tried. Help! I’m a novice 🙂

  8. I make something very close to this with Angel Food Cake mix and crushed pineapple. Will try the lemon soon. Thanks!

  9. I’ve got 4th of July Week going on at my blog, too – great minds think alike! This sounds fantastic!
