Ingredients
Scale
For the Dump Cake:
- 2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or vanilla cake mix
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Add Strawberry Layer: Evenly spread both cans of strawberry pie filling into the baking dish.
- Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over the strawberries, slightly spreading but leaving some chunks.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the top—do not stir.
- Drizzle Butter: Pour melted butter evenly over the cake mix to cover as much as possible.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Substitutions: Swap strawberry pie filling for blueberry, cherry, or peach for a different flavor.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free cake mix to make it gluten-free.
- Chocolate Twist: Try using chocolate cake mix for a chocolate-strawberry version.
- Toppings: Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for extra indulgence.
