Ingredients
  

  • 1 box lemon cake mix 15.25 oz
  • 1 can lemon pie filling 21 oz
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread lemon pie filling evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.
