Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) Lemon Cake Mix
- 1 can (16 ounces) Lemon Pie Filling
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter
Instructions
- Warm your oven precisely to 350°F, preparing the perfect baking environment.
- Select a 12-inch skillet or coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, then pour the entire 16-ounce can of lemon pie filling across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the full cup of white chocolate chips uniformly over the golden filling.
- Distribute the 4 ounces of cream cheese, cutting it into small cubes, across the surface in an even layer.
- Open the 15.25-ounce lemon cake mix box and gently spread the entire contents over the previous layers, ensuring complete coverage of the filling.
- Cut the ½ cup unsalted butter into approximately 16 thin pads, then strategically place them across the cake mix top.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 60 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and bubbling filling that signals your dessert is perfectly cooked.
Notes
- Check that the white chocolate chips and cream cheese are evenly distributed to create pockets of creamy, tangy flavor in every bite.
- Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes after baking so the filling sets and becomes easier to serve without falling apart.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the regular cake mix with a gluten-free lemon cake mix and ensure your other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Consider adding a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream on top to enhance the cake’s bright, zesty profile.
