This No-Fuss Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert combining layers of strawberry pie filling, creamy cheesecake, and strawberry cake mix. With minimal prep and a single baking step, this recipe offers a deliciously moist and fruity cake topped with golden melted butter.

Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Layer

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

Fruit Layer

  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

Cake Layer

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Set this aside for layering.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Evenly spread the strawberry pie filling along the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Next, spoon the cream cheese mixture over the pie filling and gently swirl it to create a marbled effect.
  4. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the strawberry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and pie filling layers, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Drizzle Butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix layer, covering as much of the surface as possible to help it bake into a moist and golden topping.
  6. Bake: Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The cake is done when the top turns golden brown and begins to bubble around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. For a beautiful presentation and extra flavor, garnish with whipped cream and fresh strawberries as desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps when mixing.
  • Swirling the cream cheese layer gently creates a nice marbling effect but avoid over-mixing.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute frozen strawberries for fresh as garnish, thawed and drained.
  • This dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For easier slicing, chill the cake slightly after baking.
