Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
Generously coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
03
Step
Using a spatula, spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a luscious base for the cake. (2 minutes)
04
Step
Sprinkle half of the lemon cake mix evenly over the lemon pie filling, ensuring a uniform layer. (2 minutes)
05
Step
Distribute the cubed cream cheese pieces evenly over the layer of cake mix, dotting the surface to ensure every bite has a creamy element. (3 minutes)
06
Step
Top with the remaining lemon cake mix, again ensuring an even distribution. (2 minutes)
07
Step
Scatter the small pieces of salted butter evenly over the final layer of cake mix. The butter will melt and create a golden, crispy topping as it bakes. (3 minutes)
08
Step
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is beautifully browned and the cake mix powder has fully absorbed and baked through. (40 minutes)
09
Step
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. (10 minutes)
10
Step
Serve each slice with a generous dollop of thawed whipped topping for an extra touch of creamy indulgence.
For a richer flavor, consider using European-style butter with a higher fat content.
If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of cake mix by about 1/4 cup.
To add a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) over the top before baking.
The cake is best served warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
