Make this simple strawberry cheesecake dump cake using cake mix and cream cheese for a fast, satisfying dessert perfect for potlucks or weeknight treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Do not mix it.
  3. Pour the cold water evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
  4. Dot the top of the cake mix layer with the cubed cream cheese pieces, spacing them out as much as possible.
  5. Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese and cake mix layers. Try to cover most of the surface.
  6. Sprinkle the pieces of cold butter evenly over the entire top layer.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese cubes before placing them in the pan.
  • If you prefer a firmer cheesecake layer, chill the entire dessert for at least two hours after it cools slightly.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker on low for 3 to 4 hours if you want a Crock Pot Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake variation.
