- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Cake Topping
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the dump cake.
- Add pie filling: Spread the entire can of strawberry pie filling evenly on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to create the base layer.
- Prepare cheesecake layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Layer cream cheese: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the strawberry pie filling across the baking dish.
- Add cake mix: Sprinkle the dry strawberry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese dollops, covering as much surface as possible.
- Drizzle butter: Pour and drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix layer to help it bake into a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the cake is bubbly around the edges and golden brown on top.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly and serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for a cold dessert.

- You can serve the cake warm for a gooey texture or chilled for a firmer dessert.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix smoothly with the powdered sugar.
- Use a 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure even cooking.
