Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  4. Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the lemon layer—no need to stir!
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.
  2. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or add fresh berries for extra flair.

Notes

Serve warm or chilled—both are delicious! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for later: Wrap slices tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
