I’ve tried many of your recipes and have loved every dish that I’ve created. Sometimes I change things around a bit, add an ingredient here or take away an ingredient there, but that’s what I love about your recipes …. they’re always so adaptable! Thank you and keep up the awesome work!!

I’ll have to ask her. Her husband was German but he passed away a few years ago, so I’m not sure she has it, but I’ll find out.

You said that you learned it from a friend. Does this friend have a recipe for herring salad made with beets. My mother made it often but no one has her recipe and she passed eight years ago.
Thanks.

Great question! The angel food cake mix is unique in that it already has egg whites and other leavening agents in the mix. That’s what gives these lemon bars their signature light and airy texture. Using a regular cake mix like lemon or yellow would result in a denser and possibly less airy bar. That being said, if you don’t mind a different texture, feel free to experiment with other cake mixes! Just follow the directions on the box for additional ingredients like eggs or oil that the regular mixes may require. Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try! 🍋🍰

, can you use regular cake mix like lemon or yellow cake mix with the lemon bars instead of angel food?
