Lemon Sheet Cake

I made this for my dads "New Recipe Night Wednesdays" along with the Hillbilly Chow. They were both a hit. (My dad couldn't cook this past Wed so I took a turn)

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) lemon cake mix
4 eggs
1 can (15-3/4 ounces) lemon pie filling
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cake mix and eggs until well blended. Fold in pie filling. Spread into a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Spread over cake. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 30-35 servings.

**Making sure the cream cheese and butter are softened are critical! Otherwise, you may end up with powdered sugar EVERYWHERE! :-) so I've heard...
