Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake Recipe

by

This easy dump cake recipe combines the sweet tang of strawberries with the creamy richness of cheesecake, all with minimal effort. Perfect for a quick dessert!

Ingredients:

  • 1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling  
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted  
  • Optional: Graham cracker crumbs, for topping

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.  
  2. Layer the Pie Filling: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Distribute the cubed cream cheese evenly over the strawberry pie filling. Try to spread them out as evenly as possible.
  4. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Pour the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer. Do not mix.
  5. Pour Melted Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix. Try to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.
  6. Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top for added texture.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. The cream cheese may not fully melt, but it will soften and become creamy.
  8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the cake to set and the flavors to meld.
  9. Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. You can add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Tips and Variations:

  • For a richer flavor, use a cream cheese flavored cake mix.
  • You can use other fruit pie fillings, such as blueberry, cherry, or apple, instead of strawberry.
  • If you want a more crumbly topping, you can mix the melted butter with half of the cake mix, and then sprinkle that over the rest of the dry cake mix.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened, it will help it to melt into the cake better.
  • Check the cake at 45 minutes, every oven cooks slightly differently.

Enjoy your delicious and easy Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake!
