Step 1

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Crumb Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.

Step 3

Layering Crumbs: Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming a solid base.

Step 4

Lemon Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the lemon pie filling with the softened cream cheese, blending until smooth.

Step 5

Assembling: Carefully spread the lemon cream cheese mixture over the crumb base, ensuring even coverage.

Step 6

Final Touch: Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top, creating a crumbly surface.

Step 7

Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Step 8

Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool slightly after baking, then cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally enhanced with powdered sugar or whipped cream.
