2. **Add the Cake Mix:** Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix over the cream cheese layer evenly.
3. **Pour Butter:** Melt butter and drizzle it over the cake mix — this helps create the signature crispy, buttery topping.

5. **Cool and Serve:** Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to let the layers set beautifully.
