🧁 What Is a Dump Cake?

A dump cake is exactly what it sounds like—you “dump” ingredients into a baking dish and bake! No elaborate mixing or blending required. The magic happens in the oven, as the layers melt together into a gooey, cake-like treat.

For this version, the twist is the creamy cheesecake layer that gives the dessert a rich, tangy balance against the sweetness of the strawberries and buttery cake topping.

🍓 Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything required to make the perfect Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake:

• 1 box (about 15.25 oz) of yellow or white cake mix
• 2 cans (21 oz each) of strawberry pie filling
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• Optional toppings: Fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar

🥣 Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. This ensures your dessert lifts out beautifully once baked.

Step 2: Spread the Strawberry Layer

Open the strawberry pie filling and evenly spread both cans across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
This creates the juicy, fruity foundation of your dump cake. If you like extra berries, you can sprinkle a handful of fresh chopped strawberries on top of the pie filling for a more vibrant texture.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Layer

In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Use an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is velvety and free of lumps.

Then, spoon or dollop the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry filling.
Don’t worry about spreading it perfectly—uneven swirls give the cake its signature marbled cheesecake look and texture when baked.

Step 4: Add the Cake Mix

Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and strawberries.
Resist the urge to mix! Keeping the layers distinct ensures a wonderful texture contrast—gooey fruit at the bottom, creamy cheesecake in the middle, and a crumbly cake topping.
