THE BEST LEMON BROWNIES (EASY CAKE MIX RECIPE)



The Best Lemon Brownies (Easy Cake Mix Recipe) image

The easiest recipe, lemon brownies that are chewy and topped with a delicious fresh lemon glaze.

Provided by Judy Kahansky

Categories     Easy Desserts

Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Duncan Hines Lemon Cake Mix
2 eggs (room temperature)
⅓ cup vegetable oil
Lemon zest or lemon extract (I prefer lemon zest, but either is fine)
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice - fresh squeezed to get the glaze to the right consistency

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.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 20 Brownies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 ounce) box of duncan hines moist deluxe lemon supreme cake mix
1 cup chunky applesauce (I use Mott's)
1 extra large egg
1 lemon, juice and zest of
2 (16 ounce) boxes of softened cream cheese
2 extra large eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract or 1 teaspoon lemon flavoring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix 1st layer ingredients and pour into a greased or sprayed 9x13 cake pan and set aside.
  • Next, mix 2nd layer ingredients and spoon gently over the 1st layer until its covered (this layer can be piped on using a icing bag, I find its easier than spreading).
  • Last, using a butter knife, cut into the layers as if you were swirling it to mix it, so that some of the 2nd layer goes close to the bottom of the pan. (I make several "S" shaped strokes).
  • Bake Brownies for 35 minutes and turn off the oven, but leave Brownies in the oven for 10 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and let Brownies cool completely!
  • Slice and enjoy.
  • These Brownies can be refrigerated for up to a week.
  • They are delicious cold and taste like Lemon Cheesecake!

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality lemon cake mix. This will ensure that your brownies have a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

These lemon brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these lemon brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
