4 Ingredients Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake Recipe

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Lightly grease a square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick and comes out easily when served.
2. Pour the lemon pie filling into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Make sure to spread it evenly into the corners for consistent flavor throughout the cake.
3. Top with half of the cake mix. Spread it evenly over the lemon pie filling to form the first layer of the cake.
4. Place the cubed cream cheese evenly on top of the cake mix. This will create pockets of creamy goodness throughout the cake.
5. Sprinkle the remaining cake mix over the top of the cream cheese. This will form the top layer of the cake.
6. Arrange the butter pats in a single layer on top of the cake mix, trying to cover as much of the surface as possible. The butter will melt and create a crispy, golden crust on top of the cake.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures the cake is fully cooked and has the perfect texture.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. Allowing the cake to cool slightly helps the layers set and makes it easier to cut and serve.

This delightful cake is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re serving it at a summer picnic, a family gathering, or just treating yourself to a sweet indulgence. Each bite brings a burst of lemon flavor, a creamy center, and a satisfying crumb that melts in your mouth. Enjoy this easy and delicious dessert, and let each bite remind you of the simple pleasures in life.
