Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-45 seconds until completely liquid.
- Mix the entire 15.25 oz box of yellow cake mix into the melted butter. Stir until the mixture forms coarse, sandy crumbs.
- Pour two 21 oz cans of strawberry pie filling directly into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly across the bottom.
- Take the 8 oz package of softened cream cheese and drop small spoonfuls across the strawberry filling.
- Gently spread the cream cheese with a spatula to create an even, soft layer over the strawberries.
- Sprinkle the butter-cake mix crumbs completely over the cream cheese layer, ensuring total coverage.
- Bake at 350°F for exactly 45 minutes, watching for a golden brown and bubbly top.
- Remove from the oven and let the dump cake rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- Let cream cheese sit out for about 30 minutes before starting to ensure smooth spreading and better texture.
- Swap strawberry pie filling with fresh strawberries or another fruit like blueberries for a seasonal twist.
- Mix a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg into the cake mix topping for extra warmth and complexity.
- Serve this dessert slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make the flavors pop and create a delightful contrast.
