Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Spread the lemon pie filling evenly in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over the lemon pie filling.

Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the top.

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, ensuring most of the surface is covered.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is set.

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For best results, use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Do not mix the cake mix with other ingredients. Simply sprinkle it dry over the layers for the perfect texture.
  • If you want a crispier topping, slice cold butter instead of melting it and distribute it evenly over the cake mix.
  • Customize your cake by adding fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a graham cracker crumble for extra texture.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes to restore the crispy topping.
