Lemon Bars from cake mix

I don't see how they could be.

Why do you need to use angel cake mix? The cookie is nothing but flour, sugar, and butter. Sometimes just flour and sugar.

Looking at the recipes, what I typically think of as a lemon bar is a cookie with lemon curd (pie filling to you) on top, sprinkled with powdered sugar after baking to take care of the stickiness.

"lemon angel bars" are a box of angel food cake and a can of pie filling mixed and baked, which frankly sounds wretched.

But when you use a cake mix, you are rescued from the impossible task of measuring flour, sugar, and baking powder. God only know how they get the foam in the angel food cake mixes!
