Ingredients

Cake Layer:
• 1 (15.25 ounce) box lemon cake mix
• 1/2 cup butter

• Lemon juice
• 3-5 drops yellow food coloring
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 eggs

3. In a large bowl combine powdered sugar and butter.
4. Add enough lemon juice to form the consistency of a thick frosting.
5. Beat in cream cheese and yellow food coloring until smooth.
6. Set aside 1 cup of frosting to spread on top after baking (be sure to not skip this step!).
7. Add eggs to remaining frosting mixture and beat until fluffy.
8. Spread on top of cake mix in the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until barely golden brown.
9. Let cool completely and then spread reserved frosting mixture on top and serve.
