02 - Spread the lemon pie filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
03 - In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Distribute this mixture evenly over the lemon pie filling.
04 - In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine lemon cake mix with melted butter. Sprinkle and gently spread this mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.

02 - Beating cream cheese with sugar and milk prevents uneven texture and ensures a creamy middle layer.
