Ingredients:
- 1 (21 oz) can of strawberry pie filling
- 1 box of cheesecake-flavored cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake will bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
- Layer Strawberry Filling: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish, creating a juicy base for your dump cake.
- Add Cake Mix: Open the box of cheesecake-flavored cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the strawberry filling. Do not mix. The goal is to create layers that will bake into a delightful texture.
- Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. The butter will help the cake mix moisten and bake into a golden crust.
- Bake to Perfection: Place your baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries for an added touch of freshness and color, if desired.
Serve this indulgent strawberry cheesecake dump cake warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. This dessert is a testament to the beauty of simple ingredients coming together to create a mouthwatering masterpiece, perfect for any occasion or spontaneous dessert cravings.
