I made this strawberry cheesecake dump cake with just a handful of ingredients, and it’s honestly become my go-to dessert whenever I want something sweet without putting in a ton of effort. It’s one of those recipes that feels almost too easy for how good it turns out. The strawberry flavor really shines, the cheesecake layer stays rich and creamy, and the buttery cake topping bakes up golden and irresistible.
This is the kind of dessert that’s perfect for busy days, last-minute guests, or when you want a comforting treat without pulling out mixers, multiple bowls, or complicated techniques. Everything comes together right in the baking dish with simple layering—no mixing, no fuss. The result is a cozy, spoonable dessert that’s part cake, part cheesecake, and part fruit cobbler.
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow or white cake mix – Provides a soft, buttery topping that bakes up golden and slightly crisp.
- 1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling – Brings bold strawberry flavor and a jammy, saucy base.
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened – Creates the creamy cheesecake layer; softening ensures a smooth texture.
- ½ cup granulated sugar – Sweetens the cream cheese without overpowering the strawberries.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract – Adds warmth and depth to the cheesecake layer.
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted – Moistens the cake mix and helps it bake evenly.
