A simple layered dessert with lemon filling, cream cheese pockets, and a golden buttery cake topping.

Ingredients

Scale

1 can lemon pie filling
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced or melted
1 teaspoon lemon zest, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch dish.

  • Spread lemon pie filling evenly in the dish.

  • Scatter cubed cream cheese over the filling.

  • Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly on top.

Notes

Do not stir the layers. Ensure butter covers most of the cake mix for even browning.
