Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 21 oz can strawberry pie filling
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Cake Topping
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (dry)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dump cake evenly.
- Prepare the Filling: Spread the entire can of strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, creating a juicy fruit base.
- Mix Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Add Cheesecake Dollops: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese and sugar mixture over the strawberry pie filling in random spots to create the cheesecake layer.
- Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry strawberry cake mix over the cream cheese dollops and pie filling, covering the surface as uniformly as possible.
- Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire top layer of cake mix to help it bake into a crispy, golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly, set, and golden brown on the edges.
- Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly, then serve warm or chilled based on your preference for a creamy, fruity dessert.
