This lemon sheet cake is the ideal dessert for serving at parties. It is incredibly moist, sweet and bursting with citrus flavors.

Ingredients

1 package lemon cake mix (regular size)
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 can (15-3/4 ounces) lemon pie filling
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk
Optional: Assorted yellow sprinkles and colored sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, beat cake mix and eggs until well blended. Fold in pie filling.
Spread into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla and enough milk to reach desired consistency. Spread over cake. If desired, top with sprinkles and colored sugar. Store cake in the refrigerator.

Lemon pie filling lends a splash of citrus flavor to a convenient cake mix, and a rich cream cheese frosting gives the cake sweetness. My family likes this dessert cold, so I cut it into squares and freeze it before serving. —Alyce Dubisar, North Bend, Oregon
