Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 (15-ounce) cans of strawberry pie filling
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package of vanilla or white cake mix
- 1/2 cup salted butter, cold
- Fresh strawberries, whole or halved, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the strawberry filling from both cans in the bottom of a 9”x13” baking dish.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, egg, and granulated sugar until creamy and combined.
- Layer Ingredients: Scoop dollops of the cream cheese mixture across the surface of the strawberry filling. Try to spread the cream cheese a little bit so that the surface of the dump cake is as even as possible. Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the strawberry and cream cheese layers.
- Add Butter: Slice very thin pats of butter and spread over the entire top of the dry cake mix. Cover as much of the cake mix as possible.
- Bake: Bake about 40-45 minutes until the topping is browned, even in the center, and the strawberry filling is bubbling up from the bottom.
- Serve: Serve warm or cooled. Top with fresh strawberries, if desired.
Notes
- Butter: Make sure your butter is cold as this will make it much easier to slice thin.
- Cake Mix: Vanilla, white, or yellow cake mix are all good options for this dump cake.
- Storage: You can store leftover dump cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or at room temperature for a couple of days.
