Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pie filling.

Pour the melted sticks of butter over the top of the cake mix. Or slice butter and scatter it on top of cake mix. Don’t worry about the dry spots, the butter will melt covering the whole thing.

Top the dump cake with slices of fresh berries.

Bake until your dump cake is bubbly and cooked, about 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven to 350 degrees f.

Serve warm.

If you would like to add cinnamon sugar or vanilla extract to your cake mix, it’s my favorite way to add some more flavor to one of my favorite recipes. If you would like to try out a strawberry cheesecake dump cake, you can spread softened cream cheese over the strawberry filling.

What should I top my Strawberry Shortcake Dump Cake with?

The whole family loves to enjoy this amazing recipe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or strawberry ice cream, homemade whipped cream or cool whip. I just love the flavor combination of the crumbly topping with a scoop of ice cream on top of the cake.

How should I store this recipe?

Cover your dump cake with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Store the whole yummy cake in the refrigerator for a few days.

When we want to have a quick dessert, we scoop out some into a microwavable bowl and heat up the dump cake at 30-45 seconds.

What if I can’t find Strawberry Cake Mix?

I have heard from some that grocery stores don’t always have the strawberry cake mix. It’s ok! You can also use a box of yellow cake mix or a box of white cake mix. I am sure it will be a delicious cake nonetheless! The can of strawberry pie filling has enough sweetness and strawberry flavors to make up for it.

In one spot it says to use two cans of strawberry pie filling, later in the article it says to use one, which is it?
