- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice

- Gently fold in the lemon cake mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Drizzle the melted butter on top of the batter. This will create a lovely crust while baking.
