💛 INGREDIENTS

You’ll need:

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 1 can (21 oz / 595 g) lemon pie filling
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar or lemon zest for topping

🍋 INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Create the Lemon Base

Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish.
This will become the bright, gooey layer that bubbles up beautifully.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Layer

In a bowl, mix:

  • Cream cheese
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla extract

Drop spoonfuls of this mixture all over the lemon filling.
(No need to spread perfectly — the oven does the work!)

Step 4: Cake Mix Magic

Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over everything.
Do not mix!

Step 5: Butter It Up

Drizzle melted butter all over the cake mix, trying to cover as much as possible.

👉 Tip: Don’t worry if some dry spots remain — they crisp up beautifully.

Step 6: Bake

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until:

  • Top is golden
  • Edges are bubbling
  • Kitchen smells like lemon heaven 🍋✨

🧁 HOW TO SERVE (THE BEST PART)

✔ Scoop it warm
✔ Add vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
✔ Dust with powdered sugar
✔ Eat straight from the pan (no judgment!)
