Ingredients

• Canned strawberry pie filling – other any fruit pie filling will work, too!
• Yellow cake mix – or try white cake mix to switch it up!
• Melted butter – I melt mine in the microwave in 30-second increments.

How to Make Strawberry Dump Cake

1. Spread the pie filling in the bottom of a prepared baking pan.
2. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top in an even layer.
3. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.
4. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling!

How to Serve It

It’s tempting to eat is straight from the pan, but if you can resist here are some ways to serve it!

• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. This is so good when the cake is warm – the ice cream melts over it and creates an amazing sauce!
• A dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip is also good!
• Feeling fancy? Garnish each serving with ice cream or whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and a sprig of fresh mint!

Variations of Dump Cake

Once you know how to make a dump cake, it’s easy to switch it up to create all kinds of flavors! Here are some ideas:

Caramel apple dump cake is perfect any time of year but especially during the fall!

Can you use any cake mix flavor to make a dump cake?
