Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake
Ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix (or vanilla cake mix)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the cheesecake layer: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add the strawberry filling: Spoon the strawberry pie filling evenly on top of the cheesecake layer.
Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the strawberry filling. Do not mix or stir—just spread it out evenly.
Pour the melted butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. The center will still be a bit soft, but that’s okay!
Cool: Let the cake cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve: Scoop and serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
