- 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can 21 oz strawberry pie filling
- 1 box 15.25 oz white or yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup milk optional, for a creamier filling
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries sliced (optional for garnish)
- Whipped cream optional for serving
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add milk if you want a slightly thinner consistency.
Assemble the Dump Cake:
Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Drop dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry filling and gently swirl it using a knife or spatula.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the filling and cream cheese.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix, ensuring most of the mix is moistened.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired.
- For a twist, use a strawberry and rhubarb filling or add a layer of fresh strawberries underneath the cream cheese mixture.
- You can substitute the white cake mix with a vanilla or butter pecan flavor for a different taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a warm treat.
- This dessert is delicious on its own but pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream.
