Description

This easy Sugar-Free Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake combines bright lemon pie filling, creamy pockets of cream cheese, and a buttery golden cake topping in one simple baking dish. With just four main ingredients and no mixing bowls or homemade crust required, it’s a quick, comforting dessert for family dinners, spring gatherings, or whenever you’re craving a sweet-tart lemon treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can sugar-free lemon pie filling
  • 1 box sugar-free yellow cake mix
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, thinly sliced

Optional Toppings:

  • Sugar-free whipped topping
  • Fresh lemon zest
  • Powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • Fresh blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  • Spread the sugar-free lemon pie filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Sprinkle half of the dry sugar-free yellow cake mix evenly over the lemon filling.
  • Scatter the softened cream cheese cubes evenly over the cake mix.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cake mix over the cream cheese. Do not stir the layers together.
  • Arrange the thin butter slices evenly across the top, covering as much of the dry cake mix as possible. Add small pieces of butter over any obvious dry spots.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the lemon filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Let the dump cake cool for 15–20 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm with sugar-free whipped topping, lemon zest, or powdered sugar-free sweetener. For firmer, cheesecake-like slices, refrigerate until completely chilled before cutting.

Notes

  • Slice the butter thinly so it melts more evenly and minimizes dry patches.
  • Use softened cream cheese cut into small cubes for evenly distributed creamy pockets.
  • Let the cake rest before serving so the filling can settle.
  • For clean slices, refrigerate the completely cooled cake before cutting.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • A sugar-free white or lemon cake mix can be substituted for yellow cake mix.
  • Although sugar-free, this dessert is not necessarily keto-friendly; check the labels of your specific ingredients if following a strict keto diet.
