1 (15.25 ounce) lemon cake mix
4 eggs
1 (15.75 ounce) can lemon pie filling
1 (8 ounce) pkg. cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and the eggs and mix until fully incorporated.

  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
