Ingredients
  

For the Cake Base
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 3 large Eggs Use room temperature eggs for the best rise.
  • 1 box Lemon Cake Mix Any brand will do.
  • 2 tablespoons Poppy Seeds Optional for a smoother cake.
For the Blueberry Filling
  • 1 cup Blueberry Pie Filling Substitute fresh blueberries for a healthier option.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Stevia can be a great low-sugar substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice Fresh is always best for vibrant taste.

Equipment

  • Jelly roll pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15½ x 10½ x 1 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, water, eggs, and poppy seeds. Whisk until well combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Gradually stir in the lemon cake mix, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared jelly roll pan.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of blueberry pie filling over the batter, distributing evenly without mixing.
  6. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the center springs back lightly.
  7. Allow the squares to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Prepare the glaze by whisking together the fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled squares.
