INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Layer the Ingredients:
- Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese over the lemon pie filling, distributing it evenly.
Add the Cake Mix:
- Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and pie filling layers. Make sure to cover the entire surface.
Drizzle with Butter:
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. The butter will help create a golden, crispy topping as the cake bakes.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. This dessert can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Serve it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Tips for Success
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is softened to make it easier to spread and incorporate into the cake.
- Even Layering: For the best results, layer the ingredients evenly to ensure a consistent texture and flavor throughout the cake.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different pie fillings or cake mix flavors to create your own unique dump cake variations.
