What You’ll Need:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Lemon cake mix | 1 box (15.25 oz) |
| Lemon pie filling | 1 can (21 oz) |
| Cream cheese (softened) | 8 ounces |
| Unsalted butter (melted) | ½ cup |
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Pie Filling
Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of your dish to form the first layer. - Add the Cream Cheese
Drop small spoonfuls of softened cream cheese over the pie filling for creamy pockets of flavor. - Top with Cake Mix
Sprinkle the lemon cake mix evenly over the top of the cream cheese and filling. - Finish with Butter
Drizzle melted butter evenly across the surface, making sure most of the cake mix is moistened. - Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly. - Cool & Enjoy
Let it rest for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, or let it cool to room temperature for a firmer slice.
Bonus Tip: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a swirl of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence!
