Ingredients:
1 box (15.25 oz) of yellow cake mix
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix again. Gently fold in the strawberries. If you prefer a thicker filling, sprinkle in a tablespoon of cornstarch to help set the mixture.
Assemble the cake: Spread the strawberry-cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Add the cake topping: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the strawberry mixture. Do not stir—let the dry mix remain on top for a crumbly, cake-like topping.
Add butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. This will help form a golden, crunchy topping as it bakes.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Cool and serve: Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving. Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
