Here’s a simple and delicious Lemon Dump Cake recipe—it’s called “dump” cake because you literally dump the ingredients together, no mixing required! 🍋✨
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can (20 oz) lemon pie filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), sliced thinly
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Layer the Ingredients
- Dump the entire can of lemon pie filling into the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the lemon filling.
- Place butter slices evenly on top of the cake mix.
3. Bake
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
4. Serve

- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Variations
- Add lemon zest on top before baking for extra citrus flavor.
- Mix in blueberries or raspberries with the pie filling for a fruity twist.
- Use cream cheese dollops for a richer, creamy layer.
💡 This dessert is perfect for last-minute gatherings because it’s fast, easy, and incredibly flavorful.
If you want, I can give a “tropical version” of dump cake using pineapple and coconut—also no-mix, super easy, and tastes amazing.
