Ingredients:
-
1 box lemon cake mix
-
1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling (or lemon curd for extra tangy flavor)
-
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed and softened
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
-
Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract or zest of 1 lemon for extra zing
-
Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Spread the lemon pie filling evenly over the bottom of the dish.
-
Dot the cubed cream cheese evenly over the lemon filling.
-
You can slightly press them in or swirl gently for more marbled bites.
-
-
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top—don’t mix it in.
-
Pour the melted butter over the entire surface, trying to cover as much of the dry cake mix as possible.
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.
-
Cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
📝 Tips:
-
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
-
If you like it extra lemony, drizzle with a little lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice).
