Lemon Cheese Dump Cake (Printable Version)

This easy-to-make layered treat blends cake mix, zesty lemon filling, and cream cheese in one dish for an effortless bake that tastes amazing.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter

02 - 1 box of lemon cake mix (or yellow cake mix)

03 - 1 can (21 oz) of lemon pie filling

04 - 1 egg

05 - 8 oz of softened cream cheese

06 - 1 teaspoon of vanilla

07 - 1/2 cup of sugar

08 - Lemon zest from one lemon

09 - Optional: powdered sugar for sprinkling

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease up a 9x13-inch pan lightly.

02 - Combine the melted butter and cake mix until crumbly. Firmly press about 2/3 of this into your pan to make the bottom layer.

03 - Evenly spoon the lemon filling over the base layer in the pan.

04 - Blend cream cheese, vanilla, sugar, lemon zest, and the egg until smooth and creamy. Pour it over the lemon layer.

05 - Sprinkle the leftover cake mix crumbs over the top. Bake it for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the middle is set.

06 - Let it cool down for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Want extra flair? Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you'd like.

01 - For a more lemony kick, use lemon cake mix.

02 - Cool entirely if you want slices to come out clean.

03 - Leftovers? Pop them in the fridge.
