Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

A Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is a delicious, easy dessert that combines the flavors of cheesecake and strawberry in a simple, no-fuss way. Here’s a basic recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

• 1 box of vanilla cake mix (or yellow cake mix)
• 1 can (21 oz) of strawberry pie filling
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup butter (melted)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup of whipped topping (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
3. Layer the strawberry pie filling: Spread the can of strawberry pie filling evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.
4. Make the cheesecake layer: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture over the strawberry filling layer.
5. Add the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top of the cream cheese layer. Do not stir it in, as the “dump” method requires you to leave it dry.
6. Melt the butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
8. Cool slightly: Allow the dump cake to cool for a bit before serving. You can serve it warm with a dollop of whipped topping or vanilla ice cream.
