Ingredients
21 oz strawberry pie filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
15.25 oz white or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional whipped cream for topping
Optional fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish.
3. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the strawberries without mixing.
5. Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cream cheese and strawberries.
6. Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix to moisten it evenly.
7. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly around the edges.
8. Let it cool for 15–20 minutes before serving with whipped cream or garnishes.
Notes
Allow the dump cake to rest before serving to help the layers set properly.
Make sure to drizzle the butter evenly to prevent dry patches in the topping.
For best results with fresh strawberries, let them macerate in sugar before use.
