    Once you've made one dump cake, you're going to want to try other flavors such as these:

    Lemon Dump Cake - we make our with cream cheese as well. So tasty! Lemon cake mix ith lemon curd and cream cheese filling. With all of my dump cake recipes, you can use vanilla cake mix, yellow cake mix. So easy you simply use what you have on hand and get creative!

    Cherry Cobbler Dump Cake - with cherry pie filling and a slightly different way of making the topping.

    Ingredients & Substitutions for Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake

    Labelled ingredients for recipe on a white marbled board.
    • Cake mix - you can use a box of yellow cake mix or vanilla cake mix. Both are equally delicious! You can even use strawberry cake mix.
    • Strawberry pie filling - or you can substitute strawberry-rhubarb pie filling. You can also use homemade strawberry pie filling.
    • Cream cheese - you can use a block of cream cheese or whipped cream cheese. Some recipes have powdered sugar whipped into the cream cheese, however we felt that it was plenty sweet enough without it during testing.
    • Butter - you will need ½ cup (1 stick of butter) in this recipe.
    • Fresh strawberries - the addition of fresh strawberries is optional yet really add delicious fresh fruit flavor.
    • Whipped cream or ice cream for topping are completely optional but who doesn't love whipped cream or ice cream?!
