Ingredients
  

Dump Cake Layers
  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 2 cups strawberry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries sliced optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Dish
  • Spatula
  • Measuring Cups
  • Oven
  • Cooling Rack
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish. Prepare for layering ingredients evenly.
  2. Spread strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom. Add fresh strawberries if using.
  3. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layer. Do not stir.
  4. Drizzle melted butter over the top, covering as much dry mix as possible.
  5. Bake until top turns golden and edges bubble. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For softer topping, add more butter or reduce bake time. For crisp texture, bake longer. Chill leftovers before reheating for better structure. Add nuts or spices for variation. Store covered in refrigerator up to four days.
