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:

- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix. This will help form a golden crust as it bakes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
