Description
Discover the perfect balance of sweet strawberries and tangy cream cheese in this easy-to-make dump cake. By using a double layer of cake mix and precise temperature control, you create a dessert with a sturdy base and a golden, buttery finish.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (21 ounces each) strawberry pie filling
- 2 packages (15.25 ounces each) yellow cake mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking dish.
- Empty both cans of strawberry pie filling into the bottom of the dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle one full box of yellow cake mix over the strawberries, then place the cubes of cream cheese evenly across the mix.
- Top with the second box of yellow cake mix and pour the melted butter over the surface, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden, then let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, ensure the cream cheese remains cold until the moment it enters the oven to prevent premature melting. If the cake mix appears dry in spots toward the end of baking, a light mist of additional melted butter will help integrate the flour for a seamless crust.
