Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. This ensures the cake doesn’t stick and comes out clean and smooth.
Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. If you want a more pronounced lemon flavor, add lemon juice and zest at this stage.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom
