Serving tip: Serve the dump cake warm, so the filling is gooey and the topping is crisp. For an extra treat, drizzle some caramel or chocolate sauce on top for added richness.
Storing tip: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Variants:
Berry Bliss: Swap the strawberries for a mixed berry blend, such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, for a tangy, berry-packed dump cake.
Tropical Twist: Use crushed pineapple (drained) and coconut extract in place of the strawberries for a tropical-inspired variation.
Chocolate Lovers: Add chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture, or sprinkle them over the top with the dry cake mix to create a decadent chocolate-strawberry fusion.
Peachy Keen: Replace strawberries with fresh peaches for a summery, juicy alternative.
FAQ:
Q1: Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh? A1: Yes, frozen strawberries work just as well! If using frozen, do not thaw them to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
Q2: Can I make this ahead of time? A2: While this recipe is best when baked fresh, you can prepare the filling and cake mix topping ahead of time, then assemble and bake it just before serving.
Q3: What other types of cake mix can I use? A3: You can use other flavors of cake mix, such as vanilla, white, or even strawberry for an extra strawberry flavor boost!
Q4: Can I make this recipe without sour cream? A4: Yes, you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt or even heavy cream for a slightly different texture, but the flavor will remain just as delightful.
