Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

🍰 4 Ingredients Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 35-40 minutes
Servings: 8-10 servings
Best Time to Serve: Perfect for dessert at family gatherings, parties, or as a quick treat anytime!

Ingredients

1 box lemon cake mix (typically 15.25 oz)
1 can (20 oz) lemon pie filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

🔹 Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

First, spread the lemon pie filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Next, drop dollops of softened cream cheese over the lemon filling. You don’t need to spread it out perfectly – it will melt during baking.
Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and pie filling layer. Do not stir. Just evenly distribute the cake mix on top.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. This will create a golden, crispy topping as it bakes.

🔹 Step 3: Bake the Cake

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. You may see some areas where the filling is bubbling through, which is perfect!
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before serving, allowing it to set a little.

🔹 Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Slice the cake into squares and serve warm.
You can serve it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips for the Perfect Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

Optional Toppings: For an extra burst of lemon flavor, you can top the cake with fresh lemon zest or a drizzle of lemon glaze.

Cake Mix Variation: If you prefer, you can experiment with other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or cherry for a different flavor profile.
