🍋 Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake — 4 Ingredients, Pure Sunshine in Every Bite!
I used to avoid making lemon desserts because they never turned out quite right… until I found this gem.
This Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is the ultimate no-fuss dessert — only 4 simple ingredients, and it looks like it came straight from a bakery window! 💛
The flavor is the perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and sweet — it melts in your mouth with every bite.
🧁 Ingredients:
- 1 box lemon cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
👩🍳 Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread both packages of cream cheese evenly across the bottom of your dish. It doesn’t have to be perfect — it will melt beautifully while baking!
- Pour the lemon pie filling over the cream cheese layer and spread gently.
- Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly on top (don’t mix it in!).
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Let it cool slightly before serving — or chill it for a refreshing summer treat. 🍋
💡 Tips & Variations:
- Add a handful of white chocolate chips before baking for extra sweetness.
- Top with whipped cream and lemon zest for a bakery-style finish.
- Try other pie fillings like blueberry or raspberry for fun variations.
- Best served warm or chilled — both are heavenly!
