Ingredients
Dessert Base
- 1 box yellow cake mix
Fruit Filling
- 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
Cheesecake Layer
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened Soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk Any type of milk can be used.
Topping
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour this over the strawberry filling and spread gently.
- Evenly sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the cream cheese layer, covering it completely.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the top so the dry cake mix becomes moistened.
Baking
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving so layers settle.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, dust powdered sugar and add a mint leaf for presentation. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil during baking.
