Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

🍓 Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla or white cake mix

• 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened and cut into chunks

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 cup milk (optional, for extra creaminess)

• Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional topping: fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Layer the ingredients:

   • Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.

   • Scatter the cream cheese chunks over the pie filling.

   • If using, drizzle the milk and vanilla over the cream cheese and filling.

   • Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top.

   • Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the mix as possible (use a spoon if needed).

4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.

5. Cool slightly before serving. It’s great warm or at room temperature.
