Lemon Cream Layer Cake

A layered cake built from a store-bought mix, transformed with a tangy cream cheese and citrus filling. Cake baked in two round pans then sliced horizontally into four thin layers. Filling whipped until creamy with lemon curd, cream cheese, and lemon juice, folded with lightly sweetened whipped topping. Cake assembled by alternating thin cake layers and rich lemon cream spread. Refrigerate to firm up the filling before slicing. Simple swaps: use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese, marmalade for lemon curd. Texture contrast between fluffy cake and zesty filling. Cooling well and slicing layers thin are key for balanced bites.
