Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly.
Form the Cake Base: Combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth and press evenly into your baking dish.
Create the Gooey Filling: In a larger bowl, whip the cream cheese until creamy. Incorporate eggs and vanilla, then gradually blend in powdered sugar and melted butter. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg until fully integrated. Layer this over the base in the baking dish.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The perimeter should be firm, but the center will appear slightly underdone.
Prepare the Glaze: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Dilute with milk until the glaze is pourable.
Finish with Glaze: After cooling the cake, drizzle the lemon cream cheese glaze over the top.
Ready to Serve: Slice the cake and serve, perhaps with additional lemon zest or a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish.
