Donna Wood Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is a rich, layered dessert that combines sweet strawberry pie filling, pockets of creamy cheesecake, and a buttery cake mix topping that bakes into a golden, crisp crust. Everything is built right in one 9×13-inch pan with almost no mixing, which makes it a perfect “dump and bake” dessert for potlucks, holidays, and busy weeknights.
Why you’ll love this dump cake
This dessert gives you the flavors of strawberry cheesecake and cobbler in one warm, scoopable pan. The strawberry layer bubbles up around creamy cheesecake pockets, while the dry cake mix and butter turn into a tender, buttery crumble on top.
- True dump cake ease: No crust to roll or cake batter to whip—just layer, top with mix and butter, and bake.
- Cheesecake pockets bake into a tangy, creamy layer that balances the sweetness of the strawberry pie filling.
- Uses pantry ingredients (pie filling, box cake mix, cream cheese, butter), so it’s easy to throw together anytime.
- Delicious warm with ice cream or chilled for a more set, cheesecake-like texture.
