Equipment

  • 10.5 x 7.5 inch baking dish
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups strawberry pie filling
  • 13.25 oz white cake mix can also use yellow cake mix
  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) cold salted butter sliced into thin squares

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10.5 x 7.5 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Pour the strawberry pie filling into the base of the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the vanilla cake mix evenly over the strawberry pie filling. Top with the sliced butter arranged in a single layer.
  • Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until lightly golden and the strawberry filling is bubbling. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Rather than using sliced cold butter over the cake mix, the butter can be melted and drizzled over the cake mix, if preferred.
  • The cake layer will still be quite soft when first removed from the oven, however it will firm up slightly as it cools.
  • This dump cake can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • This dump cake is delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
