Simple Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Fruit Layer
01 -
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
02 -
1 can (21 ounces) strawberry pie filling
→ Cheesecake Layer
03 -
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
04 -
1 cup granulated sugar
05 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Topping
06 -
1 box yellow cake mix
07 -
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 -
Whipped cream for serving (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F and give a 9x13-inch baking dish a good coating of non-stick spray.
02 -
Spread your strawberries across the bottom of the pan, then pour the pie filling over top. This makes a nice thick fruity base.
03 -
Mix up your softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until it's nice and smooth. Drop spoonfuls all over the strawberry layer - don't worry about spreading it perfectly.
04 -
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over everything, then drizzle all that melted butter on top. Don't stir it - just let it sit there and do its magic.
05 -
Pop it in the oven for about 45-50 minutes until the top gets golden brown and starts bubbling around the edges.
06 -
Let it cool down a bit, then top with some whipped cream if you like. Serve it while it's still warm for the best taste.
# Notes:
01 -
This cake is even better the next day after the flavors have had time to blend.
02 -
You can use frozen strawberries straight from the freezer - no need to thaw.
