How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Layer the Strawberry Filling

Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dollop spoonfuls over the strawberry filling and gently spread.

4. Add the Cake Mix

Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cheesecake layer—do not mix.

5. Pour the Butter & Milk

Drizzle melted butter and milk evenly over the top of the dry cake mix. This will help it bake into a golden, buttery crust.

6. Bake the Cake

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

7. Serve & Enjoy

Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries if desired.

What to Serve with Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

• Vanilla Ice Cream for an extra creamy treat
• Powdered Sugar Dusting for a touch of sweetness
• Caramel or White Chocolate Drizzle for extra indulgence

Tips for the Best Dump Cake

• Use Cold Cream Cheese: If you want more cheesecake chunks instead of blending into the cake.
• Don’t Stir the Layers: Dump cakes bake best when layered, not mixed.
• For a Crunchy Topping: Add chopped pecans or almonds on top before baking.

Storing & Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
• Freeze: Freeze in portions for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of pie filling?
Yes! Toss 3 cups of sliced strawberries with ¼ cup sugar and let them sit for 10 minutes to release juices.

Can I use a different cake mix?
Absolutely! White, vanilla, or even strawberry cake mix works great.

Do I need to mix the cake batter separately?
No! The dry cake mix is sprinkled on top, and the butter and milk help it bake into a perfect crust.
