Ingredients

• 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
• 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix (or lemon cake mix for extra flavor)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces
• ½ cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Layer the Ingredients: Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter the cream cheese pieces over the lemon pie filling.
3. Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the lemon and cream cheese layer. Drizzle the melted butter over the top, making sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible.
4. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The edges should be set, but the middle may still be slightly soft.
5. Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

• Add a Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts over the top before baking for added texture.
• Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave if desired.
• Cream Cheese Tip: For easier spreading, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
• Extra Lemon Flavor: If you love a more intense lemon flavor, add a few drops of lemon extract to the pie filling before spreading it in the pan.

This Easy Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is a refreshing and delightful dessert that combines creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors in every bite. Perfect for gatherings or simple indulgence at home!
