Description
Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is a fast, flavorful dessert layered with strawberry filling, cream cheese slices, and a buttery vanilla cake mix topping. It’s simple to make and perfect for holidays, potlucks, or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
1 (15.25 oz) box vanilla or French vanilla cake mix
1 stick (113 g) butter, melted
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
2 (21 oz) cans strawberry pie filling
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (about 175 °C).
-
Spray a 9 × 13 inch baking dish with non‑stick cooking spray.
-
In a medium bowl, melt the butter. Add the cake mix and stir with a fork until it’s well combined and has a crumbly texture. Set aside.
-
Pour the two cans of strawberry pie filling into the greased 9 × 13 baking dish and smooth it out into an even layer.
-
Unwrap the cream cheese and cut it into thin slices. Lay each thin slice evenly over the strawberry filling.
-
Sprinkle the crumbly cake‑mix topping evenly over the cream cheese and filling layer.
-
Pour or drizzle any remaining melted butter over the cake‑mix topping (if the recipe calls for that step).
-
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the strawberry filling is bubbling and the top is lightly golden brown.
-
Serve warm.
Notes
Use only white, vanilla, or French vanilla cake mix for best color.
Salted butter adds flavor depth if sodium isn’t a concern.
Try it with cherry, blueberry, or peach filling for variation.
