Grease a 9\u00d713 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:<\/strong>\u00a0In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it\u2019s smooth and creamy. If using, mix in the vanilla extract. Spread this evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the Lemon Layer:<\/strong>\u00a0Spoon the lemon pie filling over the cream cheese layer. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread it into an even layer, covering the cream cheese completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the Cake Mix:<\/strong>\u00a0Sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix evenly over the lemon pie filling layer. Do\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0stir or mix the layers. Press down gently to smooth it out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the Butter:<\/strong>\u00a0Slowly and evenly drizzle the melted butter over the entire surface of the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the dry mix as possible. This is crucial for creating the crumbly, crisp topping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong>\u00a0Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for\u00a0<strong>40-50 minutes<\/strong>, or until the top is deep golden brown and the edges are bubbly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cool and Serve:<\/strong>\u00a0Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set, making it easier to scoop. It\u2019s delicious served warm, at room temperature, or even cold.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for Success:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Mix!<\/strong>\u00a0The key to a dump cake\u2019s unique texture is leaving the layers distinct. The butter will seep down and combine with the cake mix as it bakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Covering Dry Spots:<\/strong>\u00a0If you see any large, dry patches of cake mix after adding the butter, you can gently press them down with the back of a spoon or add a tiny bit more melted butter to those spots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serving Suggestion:<\/strong>\u00a0This cake is fantastic on its own, but it\u2019s also excellent served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong>\u00a0Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy your easy and delicious dessert<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: Instructions: Tips for Success: Enjoy your easy and delicious dessert Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[5,3,4,2,6,7,8,9,15,14],"class_list":["post-11791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes","tag-challenge","tag-cheesy","tag-chicken","tag-food","tag-italian","tag-pasta","tag-pizza","tag-pizzeria","tag-potatoes","tag-yum"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
