4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

A 4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is a super easy and delicious dessert that combines the tangy flavor of lemon with the creamy richness of cream cheese, all topped with a simple cake mix for a quick, no-fuss treat. Here’s how to make it:

4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 box of lemon cake mix (about 15.25 oz)

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted

• 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling (or lemon curd, if preferred)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

2. Layer the ingredients:

   • Spread the can of lemon pie filling evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

   • Dot the cream cheese over the lemon filling. You can cut the cream cheese into small cubes or spoon dollops over the filling.

3. Add the cake mix:

   • Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the top of the cream cheese layer. Don’t mix it in—just spread it out evenly.

4. Pour the melted butter:

   • Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the dry cake mix. Again, don’t mix; just let the butter sit on top to create a crumbly topping as it bakes.

5. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, and the cake mix has cooked through. The top should be slightly crispy.

6. Serve:

   • Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving. You can serve it warm or at room temperature. For an extra treat, top with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

Tips:

• Fruit variations: You can use different fruit pie fillings, like cherry, blueberry, or peach, for a variety of flavors.

• Cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened so it’s easier to spread and mix into the cake.

• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is a breeze to make and a great dessert for any occasion! The combination of tart lemon, creamy cheese, and buttery cake topping is simply irresistible. Enjoy!
