1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Crumb Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
3. Layering Crumbs: Spread half of the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing it down lightly.
4. Lemon Cream Cheese Filling: In another bowl, blend the lemon pie filling and softened cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
5. Assembling: Pour and spread the lemon cream cheese mixture over the crumb layer in the baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
6. Final Touch: Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top, creating a crumbly layer.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
8. Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy a simple yet flavorful dessert, celebrating the ease and delight of uncomplicated baking!
