Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or white cake mix
- 2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (optional, for base layer)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- If using, spread the graham cracker crumbs evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a base.
- Spread the two cans of strawberry pie filling evenly over the bottom layer in the dish.
- Take the softened cream cheese and drop spoonfuls randomly over the strawberry filling layer. Do not spread it out.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the entire surface of the filling and cream cheese dollops. Do not mix.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the dump cake cool slightly before you cut and serve it.
Notes
- For a smoother cheesecake layer, you can briefly beat the cream cheese with 1/4 cup of sugar before dolloping it over the strawberries.
- This dessert is great served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- You can substitute yellow cake mix with white or strawberry cake mix for a variation.
