Description
Strawberry Dump Cake is a simple and delicious fruity dessert that combines sweet strawberries with a buttery cake topping. This easy-to-make, no-fuss dessert is perfect for any occasion, delivering a satisfying treat with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can (15 oz) strawberry pie filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (optional for extra fruit)
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional, if you prefer a sweeter filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. If you’re using fresh or frozen strawberries, scatter them on top of the pie filling.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the strawberries. Do not stir—just spread it out as evenly as possible.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering it as evenly as possible. It’s okay if some spots are not fully covered; the butter will melt and create a buttery, crisp topping while baking.
- Optional: Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the top if you want a sweeter topping.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some chopped walnuts or almonds over the cake mix before baking.
- For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free butter or a vegan butter substitute.
- If you like a more crispy topping, use a bit more butter or even sprinkle some oatmeal over the cake mix before baking.
