Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling (or lemon curd)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread lemon filling evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  3. Beat cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over the lemon filling.
  4. Add cake mix: Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.
  5. Add butter: Drizzle melted butter evenly over the cake mix (try to cover as much as possible).
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  7. Cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Would you like me to also add a serving suggestion section (like pairing with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries) to make it more complete?
