👩🍳 Instructions: How to Make Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Spread the Lemon Pie Filling
Pour the lemon pie filling evenly into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Spread it out with a spoon or spatula to ensure it covers the entire surface.
Step 3: Add the Cream Cheese
Cut the softened cream cheese into small chunks and evenly distribute them over the lemon pie filling. This will create a delicious, creamy texture as it bakes.
Step 4: Sprinkle the Cake Mix
Evenly sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix over the top of the cream cheese and pie filling. Do NOT mix—just let it sit on top.
Step 5: Drizzle the Melted Butter
Slowly pour the melted butter over the dry cake mix. Try to cover as much of the surface as possible to ensure even baking.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 7: Let It Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. You can serve it warm or at room temperature.
