Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake Easy & Irresistible Dessert
Ingredients:
1 (15.25 oz) box yellow or vanilla cake mix
1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish. Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom to create a fruity base layer.
2. Make the Cheesecake Layer:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined and silky.
Carefully spoon this cheesecake mixture over the strawberry filling and gently spread it out without mixing the layers.
3. Add the Cake Topping:
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the entire surface. Do not stir—this is what gives the “dump cake” its signature layered texture.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly on top, making sure to cover as much of the dry mix as possible for a golden finish.
4. Bake:
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving so the layers can set properly.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm for a soft, gooey texture
Chill it for a firmer, cheesecake-like consistency
Top with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence
Tips for Success:
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps
Try adding a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top for a cheesecake-style crunch
Swap strawberry filling with blueberry or cherry for a fun variation
