This Best Strawberry Dump Cake Recipe is a simple, crowd-pleasing dessert that layers sweet strawberry pie filling with a dry yellow cake mix and slices of butter, baked until golden and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Layer

  • 2 (21-ounce) cans strawberry pie filling
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced

Cake Topping

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • ¾ cup butter, cold, sliced (unsalted or salted to preference)

Optional

  • Cool Whip or whipped cream, for serving
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Strawberry Filling: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This forms the juicy base of the dump cake.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer without stirring, creating a dry topping.
  4. Top with Butter: Place thin slices of cold butter evenly over the entire surface of the cake mix, covering as much area as possible. This helps create a moist and golden crust while baking.
  5. Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is nicely golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes to set slightly for easier serving.
  7. Serve: Serve the dump cake warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Add fresh sliced strawberries for extra flavor and decoration if desired.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, lightly grease a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. Layer the strawberry pie filling, cake mix, and butter slices in the same order.
  • Cook on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours or LOW for 3.5 to 4 hours until filling bubbles and topping sets.
  • To prevent soggy topping in the slow cooker, place a double layer of paper towels under the lid to absorb condensation.
  • Use cold butter to help create a crumbly, golden crust.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
