Ingredients
2 cans strawberry pie filling (21 oz each)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup fresh strawberries, optional for topping
1 cup whipped cream, optional for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Spread strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
3. Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese over the filling. Swirl gently if desired.
4. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the entire surface.
5. Pour melted butter over the top, covering as much of the cake mix as possible.
6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.
7. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
Notes
Don’t stir the layers—just layer and bake. It’s what gives the dump cake its signature texture.
For an extra cheesecake punch, add more cream cheese or use a cheesecake-flavored pudding mix in place of part of the pie filling.
