This Best Strawberry Dump Cake Recipe is a simple, fuss-free dessert featuring layers of strawberry pie filling topped with yellow cake mix and butter, baked until golden and bubbly. Perfect for an easy summer treat or anytime you crave a sweet, fruity dessert without complicated steps.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 2 21-ounce cans strawberry pie filling
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries – sliced

Cake Topping

  • 1 15.25-ounce box of yellow cake mix
  • ¾ cup cold butter, sliced (unsalted or salted to preference)

Optional

  • Cool Whip or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer strawberry filling: Evenly spread the two cans of strawberry pie filling in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add sliced fresh strawberries on top if desired for extra freshness.
  3. Add cake mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer without stirring. This helps create a crunchy topping.
  4. Top with butter slices: Arrange thin slices of cold butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix, covering as much area as possible to ensure a rich, moist cake top.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes to set before serving. Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and garnish with additional fresh strawberries if liked.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, lightly grease a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. Layer the ingredients in the same order as for baking. Cook on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours or on LOW for 3.5 to 4 hours until bubbly and topping is set.
  • To prevent soggy topping in the slow cooker, lay a double layer of paper towels under the lid to absorb condensation.
  • This recipe serves 8 and is easy to customize with additional fresh fruit or toppings.
  • Ensure butter is cold for best topping texture.
