INGREDIENTS

  • Main ingredients

    • 1 (15.5 ounce) box lemon cake mix
    • 1/3 cup canola oil
    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Glaze ingredients

    • 1 1/2 to 2 cups confectioners sugar, or as needed
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease an 11x7-inch baking dish.

2

Mix lemon cake mix, canola oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl until well combined. Spread the mixture in the prepared dish in an even layer.

3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow brownies to cool for about 20 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a bowl; whisk until smooth; add more sugar as needed for a smooth, spreadable glaze. Stir in salt.

5

Spread lemon glaze evenly over brownies and let stand until completely cooled. Refrigerate until ready to serve; cut into 12 squares.
