Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake
This delightful Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is an easy, no-fuss dessert that brings the best flavors of summer into your kitchen! Perfect for gatherings or a sweet treat at home.
Ingredients:
– 2 cans 21 oz each strawberry pie filling
– 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
– cup 60g chopped pecans or walnuts optional
– cup 100g granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 box 15.25 oz vanilla or white cake mix
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350F 175C and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it well to prevent sticking.
2. Create the Base Layer: Pour the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. This fruity layer will bring a refreshing taste to your dessert.
3. Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Carefully drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the layer of strawberry pie filling.
4. Cake Mix Topping: Next, sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese and strawberry layers. Do not mix it in; let the dry mix stay on top to create a lovely crumbly texture.
5. Butter It Up: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix to ensure that the top becomes golden and delicious as it bakes. If youre feeling nutty, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts across the top for extra crunch and flavor.
6. Bake It: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 4045 minutes. Look for a golden brown top and bubbly filling to know its ready.
7. Cool and Serve: Once done, allow the cake to cool for about 1015 minutes before serving. This will help the layers set a bit.
Serving Suggestions: Serve this cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. For a special touch, drizzle some caramel or white chocolate over your serving.
