Description
This 4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is an easy, no-fuss dessert that brings together the bright flavor of lemon with creamy cheesecake pockets and a soft cake topping. Perfect for any occasion when you want a tangy treat with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21-ounce) can lemon pie filling
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Spread the lemon pie filling evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle half of the dry cake mix over the lemon pie filling.
- Evenly distribute the cubed cream cheese over the cake mix layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining cake mix over the cream cheese.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the top layer.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and soften it before cubing.
- You can double the recipe and use a 9×13-inch baking dish for a larger crowd.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try other pie filling flavors like cherry or blueberry for a twist!
