# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Get your oven hot at 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9×13 inch pan with oil or butter.
02 -
Take a bowl and mix the room temperature cream cheese with white sugar until it's smooth.
03 -
Drop in eggs one by one, mixing well after each one goes in.
04 -
Mix in your lemon juice and grated peel until everything's blended together.
05 -
In a different bowl, stir together the lemon cake mix, water, and veggie oil until it's smooth with no lumps.
06 -
Put the cake mix on top of the cream cheese mix in your pan. Don't stir them - they'll make their own layers.
07 -
Stick it in the oven for about 40-45 minutes. It's done when the top looks golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
08 -
Let your cake sit for 10-15 minutes before you cut into it.
