Method

Preparation of the Base

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth.

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Bake the Base

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Preparation of the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.
