Description

This No-Fuss Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is an easy and delicious dessert that combines the rich creaminess of cheesecake with the fruity sweetness of strawberry pie filling and strawberry cake mix. Layered and baked in a single pan, it delivers a beautiful swirled effect and a golden, bubbly top—perfect for a quick dessert that feels indulgent without the fuss.


Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit Layer

  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

Cake Layer

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure the cake does not stick and bakes evenly.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside for layering later.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Then spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the pie filling and gently swirl them together to create a marbled effect.
  4. Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry strawberry cake mix over the cream cheese and strawberry layers, covering the surface entirely.
  5. Drizzle Butter: Slowly pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix. The butter helps the cake mix bake into a moist, golden topping.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The top should turn golden brown and the filling should be bubbling around the edges when done.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh strawberries to enhance the flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • You can substitute the strawberry pie filling with another fruit pie filling like blueberry or cherry if desired.
  • This dessert is best served slightly warm but can also be enjoyed chilled.
  • For easier slicing, let the cake cool completely and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Use fresh strawberries for garnish to add freshness and extra flavor contrast.
