Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 can 21 oz lemon pie filling
  • 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, butter, or oil.
  • Make the Crumb Mixture:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with the melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Layer the Crumb Mixture:
  • Take half of the crumb mixture and evenly distribute it over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lightly press it down to form a solid base.
  • Prepare the Lemon Cream Cheese Filling:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and lemon pie filling until smooth and well combined.
  • Assemble the Cake:
  • Gently spread the lemon cream cheese mixture over the crumb base in the baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the lemon filling, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake the Cake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares for serving.
  • Optional: Dust with confectioners' sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
