🍋 4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake
🍽️ Serves: 10–12
⏱️ Prep Time: 5 minutes
⏱️ Bake Time: 40–45 minutes
✅ Ingredients:
-
1 box lemon cake mix (15.25 oz)
-
2 cans lemon pie filling (21 oz each)
-
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, cut into small cubes
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Dump the pie filling into the baking dish.
Spread evenly across the bottom.
3. Dot cream cheese cubes evenly over the lemon filling.

Just spread it out with your hands or a spoon.
5. Drizzle melted butter all over the dry cake mix.
Try to cover as much surface as possible.
6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
