You’ll need strawberry pie filling, cream cheese, yellow cake mix, butter, and vanilla. These simple ingredients come together for a quick, delicious treat.
1. Gather Ingredients
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready to bake. A properly preheated oven ensures the cake bakes evenly, with a golden, crispy topping and a gooey, sweet center.
2. Choose the Right Cake Mix
Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly in a greased baking dish. This will be the fruity base of your dump cake, adding a sweet and tangy flavor to each bite.
3. Easy to Make
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and scatter them over the strawberry filling. This adds a rich, creamy texture that balances the sweetness of the fruit.
4. Add the Cream Cheese
Evenly distribute the dry yellow cake mix on top of the cream cheese and strawberries. No need to mix—just spread it out so it covers the entire surface of the dish.
5. Sprinkle the Cake Mix
Melt the butter and pour it evenly over the cake mix. This helps create a golden, crunchy topping while keeping the inside soft and gooey, making each bite perfect.
6. Drizzle with Melted Butter
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this warm, delicious dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
