Description
A bright, zesty dessert that comes together in minutes, this dump cake features a creamy lemon layer underneath a golden, moist cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for glaze, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sour cream, and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the lemon cake mix over the cream cheese mixture, spreading evenly. Drizzle with melted butter and lemon-lime soda.

- Optional: Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over the warm cake before serving.
Notes
For a smoother glaze, sift powdered sugar first and add lemon juice slowly until desired thickness is reached. Serve warm or at room temperature.
