Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (about 432 g / 15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
  • 1 can (540 ml / 21 oz) lemon pie filling
  • 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick / 115 g) unsalted butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Layer the ingredients:
    • Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    • Scatter the cubed cream cheese over the lemon pie filling.
    • Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and pie filling.
    • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix, making sure to cover as much as possible.
  3. Bake:
    • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  4. Cool and serve:
    • Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of lemon zest on top before serving.
  • You can use other pie fillings (like cherry or blueberry) and cake mix flavors for variety.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave.
