Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

• Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly. If you’re using fresh strawberries, toss them with a bit of sugar and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices, then layer them over the cream cheese.

3. Add the Cake Mix:

• Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the strawberry layer. No need to mix it in, just spread it as evenly as possible over the top.

4. Add Butter and Optional Toppings:

• Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. If you like a bit of extra texture, sprinkle the shredded coconut on top as well.

5. Bake:

• Bake the dump cake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. You can check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake part — it should come out clean.

6. Cool and Serve:

• Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The cake will firm up as it cools, and the layers will come together beautifully.
• Serve the Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

• You can substitute the strawberry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like cherry, blueberry, or peach for a different variation.
• If you want an even richer flavor, add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake mix before sprinkling it on top.
• For extra indulgence, drizzle chocolate syrup or a glaze on top after baking.
