Let me tell you, this lemon dump cake is one of those recipes that feels almost too easy, but the results will have people thinking you’ve been baking all afternoon. I first made it on a Sunday when I wanted something sweet without turning the kitchen into a disaster. Three ingredients later, and suddenly my whole house smelled like a bakery that specialized in sunshine. This is one of those dump cake recipes that’s so versatile, you can swap flavors or keep it classic with lemon. I’ve tried versions of strawberry dump cake recipes and they’re lovely, but the lemon has that balance of tart and sweet that wakes up your taste buds. It’s probably the best lemon cake recipe I’ve put together without measuring a dozen things. It’s also one of my favorite lemon cake mix recipes because you just let the mix do the heavy lifting while you take the compliments. If you love an easy lemon pound cake recipe but don’t feel like waiting around for the oven timer while juggling a bunch of steps, this cake will win you over. It’s the kind of cake mix dump cake that goes from pantry to plate in less than an hour, and honestly, it’s hard not to sneak a bite while it’s cooling. Trust me, you’ll want this one in your back pocket for last-minute guests or when your sweet tooth shows up unannounced.
