recipe for Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake:
Ingredients:
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Layer the ingredients: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the lemon pie filling evenly on the bottom. Then, spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the lemon pie filling, spreading it out gently.
- Add cake mix: Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer. Don’t stir; just spread it on top.
- Pour melted butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. It will create a crumbly topping as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the dump cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
