Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients to ensure you have everything ready to go.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and sour cream, mixing until well combined.
- Prepare the Cake Base: Spread the yellow cake mix evenly in the bottom of a greased baking dish. This will serve as the foundation for your cake.
- Add the Cream Cheese Mixture: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the cake mix, spreading it out evenly to cover the base.
- Melt the Butter: Melt the butter and drizzle it over the cream cheese layer, ensuring even coverage for that lovely golden crust.
- Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Mix just until combined to maintain a tender cake texture.
- Use a toothpick to check if the center is set before removing it from the oven.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavors.
- A dollop of whipped cream or ice cream complements the cake perfectly.
