Description

Indulgent strawberry cheesecake dump cake brings creamy, sweet comfort to dessert lovers. Effortless preparation meets rich flavors, promising a delightful treat you’ll savor with every delectable bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 (15 ounces/425 grams) cans strawberry pie filling
  • 1 package vanilla or white cake mix
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg

Dairy and Sugar:

  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) salted butter, cold
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar

Garnish:

  • Fresh strawberries, whole or halved (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, creating the ideal temperature for a perfectly baked dessert.
  2. Pour both cans of strawberry pie filling into an ungreased 9×13″ baking dish, spreading evenly to create a vibrant fruity base.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese, egg, and sugar until achieving a silky-smooth consistency with no lumps.
  4. Carefully distribute dollops of the cheesecake mixture across the strawberry filling, ensuring an even spread without perfect precision.
  5. Generously cascade the dry cake mix over the entire surface, allowing it to sit untouched and powdery.
  6. Strategically arrange thin butter slices across the cake mix, covering the entire top layer to guarantee a golden and crisp exterior.
  7. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and bubbling strawberry edges that signal perfect doneness.
  8. Allow the dessert to rest briefly after removing from the oven, permitting the cheesecake layer to stabilize and create a harmonious texture before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for the smoothest, lump-free cheesecake layer.
  • For a gluten-free version, swap regular cake mix with a gluten-free alternative without compromising texture.
  • Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped fresh strawberries on top after baking for extra freshness and visual appeal.
