🍓🍰 Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake
A dump cake is one of the easiest desserts you can make—just layer ingredients in a pan and bake. This version combines sweet strawberries with creamy cheesecake flavor and a buttery cake topping.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 can or 2 cups strawberry pie filling (or sweetened strawberries)
- 1 package cream cheese (softened, about 225g)
- ½ cup sugar (for cheesecake layer)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 box yellow or vanilla cake mix
- ½ cup butter (melted or sliced)
- Optional: fresh strawberries for topping
👩🍳 Method
1. Prepare cheesecake layer
- Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
2. Layer ingredients (don’t mix!)
In a baking dish:
- Spread strawberry filling on the bottom
- Spoon dollops of cheesecake mixture over it
- Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly on top
- Drizzle melted butter across the surface (try to cover most of it)
3. Bake
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40–50 minutes
- Top should be golden and slightly crisp
- Filling will bubble underneath
4. Cool & serve
- Let it rest 10–15 minutes before serving
- Serve warm or chilled
🍽️ Serving ideas
- With vanilla ice cream 🍦
- With whipped cream
- Topped with fresh strawberries
💡 Tips
- Don’t stir layers—“dump” style is what creates texture
- Make sure butter covers most of the cake mix for even baking
- It thickens more as it cools
