I made this, and it was an instant hit! but i used yellow cake mix, added a thin layer of lemon curd one cooled, then added powdered sugar... Takes them to a whole other level... FABULOUS!!! I have also substituted raspberry jello for the lemon, and topped it off with a thin layer of raspberry preserves and a white chocolate drizzle : to die for!!!

The cream cheese mixture tasted really well, but unfortunately the cake part on the bottom came out a bit burned. I followed the directions exactly and baked it for 40min and not 45.
