Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans (21 oz / 595g) Strawberry Pie Filling Look for cans with whole fruit chunks
  • 8 oz (226g) Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Vanilla Extract
  • 1 box (15.25 oz / 432g) Yellow Cake Mix Dry mix
  • 3/4 cup (170g) Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 1 tbp Powdered Sugar For dusting

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch rectangular glass baking dish Essential for even baking and visual presentation.
  • 1 Mixing Bowl For the cheesecake filling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch rectangular glass baking dish.
  2. Spread both cans of strawberry pie filling evenly into the bottom of the dish, ensuring whole fruit is distributed.
Cheesecake Layer
  1. Beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Drop by spoonfuls over the strawberries.
  2. Gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the fruit using a knife, creating marble-like cheesecake filling swirls.
Topping and Baking
  1. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the entire surface.
  2. Pour melted butter evenly over the cake mix to ensure a mix of cake-like patches and crunchy edges.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden-brown and the filling is bubbling. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth swirls.
Don't stir the layers together; the layering is what makes the dump cake texture successful.
