Experience the magic of effortless dessert creation with the Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake. In this delightful culinary adventure, we’ll explore the simplicity of this recipe that marries the sweetness of strawberry pie filling with the creamy richness of cheesecake, all crowned by a golden cake mix topping.
Ingredients:
- 2 – 15 ounce cans of strawberry pie filling
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg, large
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 package of vanilla or white cake mix
- ½ cup salted butter, cold
- Fresh strawberries, whole or halved, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spread the strawberry filling from both cans in the bottom of a 9”x13” baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, egg, and granulated sugar until creamy and combined.
- Scoop dollops of the cream cheese mixture across the surface of the strawberry filling. Try to spread the cream cheese a little bit so that the surface of the dump cake is as even as possible.
- Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the strawberry and cream cheese layers.
- Slice very thin pats of butter and spread over the entire top of the dry cake mix. Cover as much of the cake mix as possible.
- Bake about 40-45 minutes until the topping is browned, even in the center, and the strawberry filling is bubbling up from the bottom.
- Serve warm or cooled.
Notes:
- Make sure that your butter is cold as this will make it much easier when it comes to slicing your butter thin.
- You could also store your strawberry dump cake at room temperature for a couple of days.
- Vanilla, white, or yellow cake mix are all good options for this dump cake.
