Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix (15.25 ounces)
- 2 (21-ounce) cans lemon pie filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy removal after baking.
Step 2: Spread the Pie Filling
Pour both cans of lemon pie filling into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.
Step 3: Add the Cream Cheese
Spoon dollops of softened cream cheese over the lemon pie filling. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to gently swirl the cream cheese into the pie filling.
Step 4: Sprinkle the Cake Mix
Evenly sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix over the cream cheese and pie filling layer. Avoid mixing—it’s meant to stay dry on top.
Step 5: Drizzle the Butter
Pour the melted butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix. The butter will soak into the mix during baking, creating a golden, crispy topping.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
