Description

This 4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is a bright, creamy, and dangerously easy dessert with a tangy lemon flavor. Perfect for a quick treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or lemon cake mix
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the pan. Scatter the cubed cream cheese over the filling.
  3. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top (don’t stir!). Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, making sure to moisten as much as possible.
  4. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  5. Let cool slightly before serving — it’s amazing warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

  • For an even creamier cake, add extra dollops of cream cheese across the top.
  • Dust with powdered sugar after baking for a pretty finish.
  • Try swapping the lemon pie filling with blueberry or cherry for different flavor variations.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days — they taste even better chilled!
