🍋✨ I used to avoid making lemon desserts because they never turned out right… until I found this gem!
This Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is exactly how my neighbor makes it, and let me tell you — hers always comes out looking bakery-ready, smelling like a gourmet pastry shop, and tasting even better. So I finally tried her method, and WOW… this one’s a keeper! 😍💛

✨ Why this Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is so irresistible:

– The cake mix on top turns golden, buttery, and slightly crisp.
– It’s the perfect balance of sweet + tart.
– And the smell… your whole house will smell like sunshine. ☀️🍋
🍰 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 2 cans lemon pie filling
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 stick butter (sliced thin over the top)
👩🍳 How to Make It (SO Easy!):
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of a baking dish.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth — dollop spoonfuls over the lemon filling.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly on top (DON’T mix!).
- Place thin slices of butter all across the surface so everything bakes evenly.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden, bubbling, and smelling heavenly.
- Let it rest 10 minutes before serving — it thickens as it cools.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream… OMG, dangerously good. 😭💛🍦
