What is a Dump Cake?
A dump cake is a dessert that requires little to no mixing. The ingredients are simply layered in a baking dish, creating a delicious cake with a cobbler-like texture. This recipe takes it up a notch by incorporating a rich cheesecake layer, making it a heavenly blend of flavors.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake, you’ll need:
- 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box yellow or white cake mix

How to Make It
