Lemon Dump Cake
Description
Lemon Dump Cake starts with a flavorful foundation of lemon pie filling spread in a baking dish. A cream cheese layer blended with egg and sugar is spooned over the lemon, adding creaminess and subtle tang. The cake mix is sprinkled evenly on top and dotted with thin slices of butter, which melt into the dry mix and create a golden, moist crust while baking.
As it bakes, the layers meld to form a tender cake with a bright lemon flavor, creamy pockets from the cream cheese, and a moist, buttery topping. The cake is rested after baking to allow it to set for easier slicing.
This dessert requires no mixing bowl for the filling beyond the cream cheese layer and allows for quick assembly. It offers a soft crumb texture with contrasting moist, tangy, and buttery notes typical of dump cakes.
