Ingredients

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  4. Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the top.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, ensuring as much of the surface is covered as possible.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

For extra lemony flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
