The four-ingredient cake gets its name because the components are literally &#8220;dumped&#8221; into a baking dish.

This lemon dump cake recipe is so easy to pull off that even first-time bakers will revel in their success\u2014and maybe even memorize the recipe after the first go!<\/p>\n<p>We make our lemon dump cake with cream cheese, giving the dessert some serious cheesecake vibes. It&#8217;s a delight to the senses, especially for lemon lovers. The lemon filling has the perfect balance of sweet-tart flavors, and the mildly tangy cream cheese smooths out any lingering sourness. As for the texture, the cheese&#8217;s silky-smoothness creates gooey pockets in the soft vanilla-flavored cake. A buttery finish crisps the topping and brings all the rich flavors together. It&#8217;s nothing short of perfection.<\/p>\n<h2>Lemon Dump Cake Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2013801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lemon-Dump-Cake-FT24_232418_JR_0604_1-e1720616239273.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Lemon Dump Cake Ingredients\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lemon pie filling:<\/strong> We use two cans lemon pie filling to make sure this dump cake has the right ratio of filling to topping.

Layer the lemon pie filling, yellow cake mixes and cream cheese as directed. Drizzle the remaining butter over the cake mix and cook, covered, on high for two hours. Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pineapple-upside-down-dump-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pineapple-upside-down-dump-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">slow-cooker dump cake<\/a> recipe for more tips.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the difference between lemon curd and lemon pie filling?<\/h3>\n<p>Lemon curd and lemon pie filling are similar but have different textures when used to make a lemon dump cake. Lemon pie filling is made with citrus, sugar and sometimes eggs. It also contains cornstarch or flour to give the filling a thicker, firmer consistency. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-lemon-curd\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-lemon-curd\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Lemon curd<\/a> also is made with citrus and sugar, and it always has eggs. But instead of cornstarch or flour, curd is thickened with butter, which gives it a smoother, creamier consistency.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you mix the dump cake ingredients?<\/h3>\n<p>Mixing dump cake ingredients is a mistake, as it changes the way the cake layers bake. Keeping the layers separated allows the filling layer to stay melty and bubbly while the buttery cake topping gains a fluffy consistency. The added butter on top creates cobbler-like pockets of crumbly dough. When cooked correctly, the topping is slightly gooey on the inside and crisp on the outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lemon lovers, rejoice: Four-ingredient lemon dump cake with cream cheese is one of the easiest desserts you&#8217;ll ever make.
