Ingredients for Strawberry Dump Cake
- Strawberry Pie Filling: Any brand of strawberry pie filling will be fine, simply make sure they are 21 ounce cans.
- Cream Cheese: Use full fat cream cheese and ensure it is softened to room temperature before adding on top of the filling. You can cut this into pieces before or after it softens.
- White Cake Mix: Any brand will do, just make sure it is a 15.25 ounce box.
- Unsalted Butter
Directions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350℉.
- Then pour the two cans of strawberry filling into the bottom of your baking dish.
- Cut the cream cheese into small cubes (about 1 teaspoon each) and place evenly on top of the strawberry filling.
- Stir together the cake mix and melted butter in a large bowl, then sprinkle evenly on top of the filling & cream cheese.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top starts to golden.
- Allow to cool slightly, then enjoy with some vanilla ice cream on top!
Tips:
- Make sure there is no dry cake mix after stirring in with the butter when adding to the top of the filling and cream cheese.
- Be sure to completely cover the strawberry filling and the cream cheese with the cake mix mixture, to prevent red/pink from peeking through.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days for best results.
No, dump cakes do not require any stirring, unless specifically stated in the directions. Simply add the filling, place the cream cheese on top, stir together the cake mix and butter, and sprinkle the mixture on top before baking. This dump cake has 3 separate layers that do not get mixed together.
Yes, it is best fresh from the oven, with some vanilla ice cream, but will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge. However, the longer it sits in the fridge, the soggier it will get.
