Ingredients

  • 2 cans lemon pie filling 21 oz each
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Layer the Ingredients: Spread the lemon pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Add the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the lemon pie filling, making sure it covers the entire surface.
  • Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter and water evenly over the top of the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.
  • Add the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and lemon zest. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cake for an extra burst of lemony sweetness.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the dump cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
