Ingredients:

1 (21 oz) can of strawberry pie filling

1 box of cheesecake-flavored cake mix

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

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

This ensures your cake will bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.

Layer Strawberry Filling: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish, creating a juicy base for your dump cake.

Add Cake Mix: Open the box of cheesecake-flavored cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the strawberry filling.

Do not mix. The goal is to create layers that will bake into a delightful texture.

Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.

The butter will help the cake mix moisten and bake into a golden crust.

Bake to Perfection: Place your baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden and the filling is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve: Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries for an added touch of freshness and color, if desired.
