If you mean a dessert where you just “dump” ingredients together and bake or chill it, here’s a quick version you could try:
Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake
Ingredients:
-
1 box of strawberry cake mix (or any cake mix of your choice)
-
1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
-
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup sour cream
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1/4 cup butter (melted)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for a cheesecake crust effect)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the base layer: In a baking dish (about 9×13 inches), spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom.
-
Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture over the strawberry pie filling layer.
-
Top with cake mix: Sprinkle the dry strawberry cake mix evenly over the cheesecake layer. Do not mix it in—just let the dry cake mix sit on top.
-
Add melted butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. This will create a crumbly, golden crust.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. You may need to check a little earlier to make sure it doesn’t over-bake.
-
Let it cool slightly before serving.
You could top it off with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or even some extra graham cracker crumbs for extra texture!
