Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 21 oz can strawberry pie filling

Cream Cheese Mixture

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

Topping

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature by the time you assemble your cake.
  2. Layer Pie Filling: Spread the entire can of strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, forming the flavorful base of your dump cake.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  4. Add Cream Cheese Dollops: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the strawberry pie filling layer, distributing the richness across the dish.
  5. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Carefully sprinkle the dry strawberry cake mix evenly over the top of the cream cheese dollops without pressing it down.
  6. Top with Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix to help it bake into a golden, moist topping.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
  8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly, and serve warm or chilled according to your preference for a delicious dessert.
