Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine yellow cake mix, lemon pudding mix, lemon juice, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 22-24 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Edges should slightly pull away from the pan.
  5. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using parchment and cool completely.
  6. To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Adjust with more lemon juice if too thick.
  7. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the brownies and optionally sprinkle with lemon zest. Cut into squares.
