Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a Lemon Cheese Dump Cake:
### Lemon Cheese Dump Cake
#### Ingredients:
– 1 box of lemon cake mix
– 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
#### Instructions:
1. **Preheat Oven**:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Prepare Baking Dish**:
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
3. **Layer Ingredients**:
– **Lemon Pie Filling**: Spread the lemon pie filling evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
– **Cream Cheese Mixture**: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture over the lemon pie filling.
– **Cake Mix**: Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer.
– **Butter**: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
4. **Bake**:
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
5. **Cool**:
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and be easier to cut.
6. **Serve**:
Serve warm or at room temperature. You can top it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
### Tips:
– **Cream Cheese**: Ensure the cream cheese is well softened to blend easily.
– **Butter**: Drizzling the butter evenly helps ensure the cake mix is moistened and bakes properly.
– **Optional Add-Ins**: You can add a sprinkle of lemon zest on top for extra lemon flavor or mix in some white chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
