4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 box Yellow or Lemon cake mix 📦✨
- 1 can (21 oz) Lemon pie filling 🍋🍯
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened and cubed 🧀
- ¾ cup Unsalted butter, thinly sliced 🧈
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Heat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. 🌡️🔥
- The Fruit Base: Spread the entire can of lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish. 🥄🍋
- Creamy Clusters: Drop small cubes of the softened cream cheese all over the lemon filling. This creates those amazing “cheesecake” pockets! 🧀💎
- The Dump: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the lemon and cream cheese layers. Do not stir! 📦🌪️
- The Butter Blanket: Place thin slices of butter over the entire surface of the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the powder as possible for a perfect golden crust! 🧈🧱✨
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is bubbly and a beautiful golden brown as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🤤
- Serve: Let it cool slightly to set. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream! 🍨👑✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Butter” Secret: For an even crunchier topping, melt the butter and pour it slowly over the cake mix instead of slicing it. 🧈🛡️💎
- Add a Crunch: Sprinkle some shredded coconut or sliced almonds over the top before baking for a little extra texture! 🥥🥜🎯
