Luscious Lemon Brownies with Tangy Glaze

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring to use non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to combine the dry cake mix, lemon instant pudding mix, fresh lemon juice, eggs, and lemon zest until smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
4. Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only moist crumbs (no wet batter).
5. Once baked, remove the lemon brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper and let them cool completely while you prepare the glaze.
For the Glaze:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice if needed.
2. Slice the cooled lemon brownies into squares and drizzle the glaze over the top. Optionally, garnish with lemon zest for extra citrus flavor.
3. Serve and enjoy these delightful lemon brownies as a sweet and tangy treat that’s sure to brighten your day!
