Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes | Servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for whipping, optional)
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the cake: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then, spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the pie filling. Use a spatula to gently spread it out.
  4. Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry vanilla cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer. Don’t mix it in—just spread it as evenly as possible.
  5. Pour the butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix. This will help form a golden crust as it bakes.
  6. Bake the cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Optional whipped cream topping: If you like, whip up some heavy cream and sugar to make fresh whipped cream to serve on top of your cake.
  8. Serve: Let the dump cake cool for a few minutes before serving. You can garnish with fresh strawberries or even a drizzle of strawberry sauce for extra flavor.

Tips:

  • Substitute the fruit: You can easily swap the strawberry pie filling for other fruit fillings like blueberry, peach, or apple for a variation.
  • Make it richer: For an extra creamy dessert, try adding a layer of cream cheese frosting on top before serving.
  • Store leftovers: Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Enjoy your Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake! It’s a perfect easy dessert for gatherings, parties, or a simple treat at home. 😊
