Ingredients

  • 2 cans (21 oz each) lemon pie filling
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or lemon cake mix
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Directions

1

Spread lemon filling

Pour lemon pie filling into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2

Dump cake mix and butter

Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over lemon layer. Arrange butter pats closely across the top to cover the dry mix.

3

Bake until bubbly and golden

Bake at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for 40–45 minutes until top is golden brown and edges are bubbling.

πŸ’‘ CHEF'S PRO TIPS

  • Slice the butter as thin as possible so it covers every inch of dry cake mix, eliminating powdery spots.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zestβ€”delicious.
