Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling
  • 1 (18.25 oz) box yellow cake mix
  • ½ cup butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

  1. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  2. Dollop the lemon pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out as evenly as possible without mixing into the cream cheese.
  3. Sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix evenly over the lemon pie filling. Don’t worry about pressing it down—just let it sit naturally.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.

Step 3: Bake

  1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for at least 15–20 minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set slightly.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. For an extra treat, top each slice with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
