Lemon Dump Cake

A warm, gooey dessert featuring layers of tangy lemon curd and rich cream cheese, topped with a buttery cake mixture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (12-ounce) jars lemon curd
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box vanilla, lemon, yellow, or white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, cold

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Evenly spread both jars of lemon curd across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, room temperature egg, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the layer of lemon curd.
  5. Sprinkle the entire box of cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Slice the cold butter into thin pats and place them on top of the dry cake mix.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and the lemon curd is bubbling.
  8. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
