Description

This Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is a dreamy dessert that’s tangy, creamy, and oh-so-easy to make. With layers of bright lemon pie filling, buttery cake, and pockets of rich cream cheese, it’s perfect for any occasion! Just a few simple ingredients come together to create a golden, bubbly dessert your family will rave about.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 oz.) can lemon pie filling
  • 1 (15 oz.) package yellow cake mix
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Spread the lemon pie filling evenly into the bottom of the dish.
  • Sprinkle half of the yellow cake mix over the pie filling.
  • Distribute the cubed cream cheese evenly across the cake mix.
  • Add the remaining cake mix in an even layer on top.
  • Lay thin slices of butter over the cake mix, ensuring it covers as much of the surface as possible.
  • Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the best results, ensure the butter slices are as thin as possible to evenly moisten the cake mix.
  • This recipe is versatile—swap lemon pie filling for another flavor if desired.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!
