4-Ingredient Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

Ingredients

• 1 box lemon cake mix (about 15.25 oz)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Layer Ingredients:
   Spread the softened cream cheese evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.

3. Add Pineapple:
   Pour the crushed pineapple (with juice) over the cream cheese layer.

4. Add Cake Mix:
   Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the pineapple layer. Do not mix.

5. Pour Butter:
   Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.

6. Bake:
   Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve:
   Let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

✅ Tips:

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy spreading.

• Don’t stir layers — the magic is in letting them bake separately!

• You can swap lemon cake mix for yellow or white for a milder flavor.
