Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 21 oz can strawberry pie filling
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter sliced into thin pats

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Layer Strawberry Filling: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add Cream Cheese Layer: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry pie filling, spreading gently for an even layer.
  • Top with Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cream cheese layer. Place the butter pats evenly across the top.
  • Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the dump cake cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Spread Butter Evenly: Thin pats of butter evenly distributed help ensure the cake mix bakes evenly without dry spots.
  • Softened Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
  • Golden Top: Bake until golden brown for a slight crunch on top that complements the gooey filling.
