3.9 from 8 reviews

This easy and delicious Lemon Dump Cake recipe combines tart lemon pie filling with sweet yellow cake mix and buttery topping, all cooked to perfection in a slow cooker. A simple dessert that’s perfect for gatherings or a cozy treat, served warm and optionally topped with vanilla ice cream.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 42 oz. lemon pie filling (two 21-oz. cans)
  • 1.5 cups yellow cake mix (half of a 15.25 oz box)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the slow cooker thoroughly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Add Lemon Pie Filling: Spread out all 42 ounces of the lemon pie filling evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker to establish the fruity base layer.
  3. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle 1.5 cups of yellow cake mix over the lemon pie filling, covering the surface completely.
  4. Add Butter: Cut 1/2 cup salted butter into small cubes and evenly distribute them over the cake mix. This will help create a rich, golden crust as it cooks.
  5. Cook: Place the lid securely on the slow cooker and cook on High for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the top layer of cake mix looks fully cooked and set.
  6. Serve: Spoon the warm lemon dump cake into bowls and optionally top with vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast.

Notes

  • Ensure the slow cooker is properly sprayed to prevent sticking.
  • If you prefer a firmer crust, you can extend the cooking time slightly but monitor closely to avoid drying out.
  • This dessert is best served warm but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute salted butter with dairy-free margarine or coconut oil.
  • Adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving adds a nice decorative touch.
