Expert Tips for Making Lemon Dump Cake

  • Top It Off: Every dump cake is better with a little something extra on top. Cool whip, vanilla ice cream or an extra glaze make great compliments to the citrusy lemon flavor of the cake.
  • Zest It Up: Adding a little bit of lemon zest to your recipe can add a whole lot of fresh flavor. You can get lemon zest by taking a cheese grater with small holes and shaving away the outside of a lemon. The zest you collect can also make for a very aesthetic and aromatic topping.
  • Cream Cheese: When baking with cream cheese, you should always first soften it before adding it to the mix. If you really want a good creamy texture, it can be hard to get if the cream cheese is cold (just out of the fridge). To soften your cream cheese, you can simply remove it from the refrigerator ahead of time and let it sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (or until you see it has sufficiently softened).
