Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Step 3: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with the strawberry pie filling, spreading it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the strawberry pie filling. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Step 6: Let cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and topping with sliced almonds, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it's best enjoyed fresh!
- Gently warm individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a slightly melty, comforting treat.
- Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the flavors.
- To prevent a soggy bottom, try lining your baking dish with parchment paper before assembling the dump cake.
