Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Combine cake mix and melted butter in a bowl; mix until crumbly.
- Press half the mixture into the baking dish.
- Mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Spread cream cheese mixture over the cake layer in the dish.
- Pour lemon pie filling over the cream cheese.
- Sprinkle remaining cake mixture over the pie filling.
- Bake 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
Keto/Low-Carb Variations
For a keto or low-carb version:
- Use a keto-friendly lemon cake mix or make your own with almond flour and a sugar substitute.
- Substitute canned filling with homemade sugar-free lemon curd.
- Use a low-carb sweetener (erythritol or stevia) instead of powdered sugar.
- Top with sugar-free whipped cream or keto-friendly ice cream.
Tips for Success
- Soften cream cheese completely for a smooth mixture.
- Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese for extra lemon flavor.
- Serve warm for a gooey texture, or chill for a firmer cake.
- Experiment! Try different cake mixes and pie fillings (strawberry, blueberry, chocolate!).
