| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Strawberry pie filling | 1 can (21 oz) |
| Cream cheese (softened) | 1 package (8 oz) |
| Granulated sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Yellow cake mix | 1 box |
| Unsalted butter (melted) | 1/2 cup |
| Fresh strawberries (sliced) | 1/4 cup (optional) |
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Add the Fruit Base
Evenly spread the strawberry pie filling across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Mix the Cheesecake Layer
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over the strawberry layer and gently spread to cover most of the surface.
Step 4: Top with Cake Mix
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer, ensuring there are no uncovered spots.
Step 5: Drizzle Butter
Pour the melted butter evenly across the top of the dry cake mix, covering as much as possible to ensure a golden, crisp finish.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Step 7: Cool & Garnish
Let the dump cake cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Add sliced fresh strawberries on top for a fresh and colorful touch.
