This simple Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake combines the sweet flavors of strawberries, creamy cheesecake, and buttery cake into a delightful dessert. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix
1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter, sliced into thin pats
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Layer the Strawberry Filling
Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture
In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add Cheesecake Dollops
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry pie filling. There’s no need to spread it out—it will melt and blend beautifully as it bakes.
Add the Cake Mix
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and strawberry layers, ensuring full coverage.
Top with Butter
Arrange the thin slices of butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix. The butter will melt and help form a golden, crispy topping.
Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success
Toppings: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Variations: Substitute the strawberry pie filling with cherry, blueberry, or peach pie filling for a different flavor twist.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
