💡 Tips for the Best Dump Cake
✅ Use room-temperature cream cheese – This ensures it melts evenly into the cake.
✅ Don’t stir the layers – Keeping them separate creates the best texture.
✅ Spread the butter evenly – This helps the cake mix cook properly and prevents dry spots.
✅ Experiment with flavors – Try swapping the lemon cake mix for vanilla or white cake mix for a different twist.
🧊 Storage and Reheating
Refrigerator
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cream cheese makes it best to keep chilled.
Freezing
You can freeze this cake for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating
For the best texture, reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes, or microwave individual servings for 30 seconds.
