Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix (15.25 oz) Choose a reputable brand with real lemon oil or natural flavoring.
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz, softened) Full-fat cream cheese gives the best texture and flavor.
- 1/2 cup butter (melted) Melted butter provides browning and a golden crust.
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda Use a clear, non-diet lemon-lime soda for proper sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly or use nonstick spray.
- Pour the entire dry lemon cake mix into the prepared baking dish without stirring.
- Dot the softened cream cheese evenly over the top of the dry cake mix.
- Drizzle the melted butter slowly and evenly over the cream cheese and cake mix.
- Pour the entire bottle of lemon-lime soda evenly across the pan, do not stir.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling at the edges.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese and do not stir after adding the soda. Chill slightly before serving for neat slices.
