Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the Dish
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer the Filling
    • Spread the lemon pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  3. Cream Cheese Mixture
    • In a bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Drop spoonfuls over the lemon filling (doesn’t need to be perfect — it will melt into pockets of creaminess).
  4. Add Cake Mix
    • Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the top (do not stir).
  5. Butter Drizzle
    • Pour melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer.
    • Optional: sprinkle with lemon zest for brightness.
  6. Bake
    • Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Serve
    • Let cool slightly before serving. Delicious warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. 🍦✨

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Extra tangy: Add a layer of fresh raspberries or blueberries with the lemon filling.
  • Creamier: Swirl softened cream cheese directly into the lemon filling before layering.
  • Shortcut: Use only 1 can of pie filling if you prefer it less gooey.
