Step 3: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer
✅ In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
✅ Spoon dollops of this mixture over the lemon pie filling and gently spread it out. (It doesn’t have to be perfect—it will melt into the filling while baking!)
Step 4: Add the Cake Mix
✅ Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer. (Do not mix!)
Step 5: Drizzle with Butter
✅ Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix.
✅ Try to cover as much of the cake mix as possible—this helps create a delicious golden crust.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
✅ Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
✅ Let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
🍨 Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
💛 Scoop out warm servings and top with whipped cream, lemon zest, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra treat!
💛 Pair it with vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast to the tangy lemon.
