Ingredients for Angel Squares

  • Angel Food Cake Mix
  • Lemon Pie Filling
  • Sliced Almonds
  • Flaked Coconut

How to Make Angel Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix and 1 (21 oz) can of your favorite pie filling (apple, cherry, or lemon work well). Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup slivered almonds and ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
