The Best Lemon Brownies Easy Cake Mix Recipes

THE BEST LEMON BROWNIES (EASY CAKE MIX RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F/175C and prepare a 8 x 8 baking pan by spraying it with non stick spray and then lining with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine cake mix, eggs, lemon zest and oil together and blend well with a hand mixer on low speed, gradually increasing to medium speed, until the batter is well mixed. Pour the lemon batter into the prepared baking pan, making sure it is spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes - starting with 20 minutes and if the top of the brownies are starting to crack it is close to being done. You don't want to overbake. The brownies should be a bit chewy and gooey in the center, and not raw. Complicated? Not at all. Cool the brownies on a wire rack until completely cooled. While the brownies are cooling, mix up the lemon glaze and then apply to the top of the brownies. Then using the sides of the parchment paper, lift them out of the pan, and cut into individual lemon bars. You should get 12 bars with this recipe.
