- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 cup unsalted butter sliced into thin pieces
- 1 tbsp lemon zest optional, for garnish

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
