Creating your Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Mix Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

3. Combine Eggs: Slowly add the eggs to the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until well-combined. Set this mixture aside.

4. Prepare Cake Batter: In another large bowl, prepare the lemon cake mix according to package instructions. This usually involves adding water, oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.

5. Layer Mixtures: Pour half of the cake batter into the greased baking dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top. Pour the remaining cake batter on top, spreading it gently.

6. Drizzle Butter: Lastly, drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake batter. This will create a lovely golden crust while baking.

7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The cake should be set and lightly golden on top.

8. Cool: After baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

9. Top with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

10. Serve with Freshness: Consider serving the cake warm or at room temperature with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.

These straightforward steps will help you create a delicious Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake that will undoubtedly amaze anyone who tries it.
