Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is a simple, delicious dessert that layers strawberry pie filling, creamy sweetened cream cheese, and yellow cake mix to create a luscious, effortless treat. With a golden, buttery crust and a topping of whipped cream and fresh strawberries, it's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cans strawberry pie filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cake Layer

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (dry)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted

Topping

  • 8 oz whipped topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Spread Pie Filling: Evenly spread the two cans of strawberry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared baking dish as the base layer.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Cream Cheese on Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture gently over the strawberry filling and spread carefully so it forms an even layer without mixing into the filling.
  5. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cream cheese layer; do not stir or mix the layers together.
  6. Add Melted Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter all over the cake mix layer, ensuring it covers as much of the surface as possible for a golden crust.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven uncovered and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Cool Down: Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes at room temperature to set.
  9. Add Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake.
  10. Garnish: Garnish the dessert with fresh sliced strawberries and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Do not stir after adding cake mix and butter to maintain the distinctive layered look and texture.
  • Allowing the cake to cool slightly before adding whipped topping prevents it from melting.
  • Fresh strawberries add a nice fresh contrast but can be substituted with other fresh berries if desired.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
