Variations

  • Change the Cake Mix - Use other types of cake mixes- lemon cake mix and white cake mix make delicious options.
  • Pie filling- Use blueberry pie filling to make blueberry dump cake. This pairs well with lemon cake mix for lots of lemon and blueberry flavor. Strawberry pie filling is good as well. Try a combination to make Lemon Blueberry Dump Cake.
