Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cake Base & Topping
01 -
1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla or French vanilla cake mix
02 -
1 stick butter, melted
→ Filling
03 -
2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling
04 -
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees. While it's warming up, grab a 9x13 baking dish and give it a good coating of non-stick cooking spray.
02 -
In a medium bowl, melt your stick of butter until it's nice and liquid. Pour in the cake mix and use a fork to mix everything together until you get that perfect crumbly texture - like wet sand. Set this magical mixture aside for now.
03 -
Pour both cans of strawberry filling into your prepared baking dish, making sure to spread it into an even layer. Take your block of cream cheese and slice it into thin pieces, then arrange them evenly across the strawberry layer.
04 -
Sprinkle your crumbly cake mixture over the top, making sure to cover everything evenly. Pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until you see those strawberries bubbling away and the top turns a beautiful light golden brown.
05 -
This dessert is absolutely divine when served warm - dig in and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For the best results, stick with vanilla or French vanilla cake mix - yellow cake mix will give you a different color than intended. If you're feeling adventurous, chocolate cake mix makes a delicious variation!
02 -
Using salted butter will naturally enhance the sweetness of the dessert, unless you're watching your sodium intake.
03 -
Feel free to experiment with different pie fillings - cherry, blueberry, or peach work wonderfully in this recipe.
