 Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix

• 2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling

• 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

 Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

2. Layer the Strawberry Filling: Evenly spread the strawberry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

4. Add the Cream Cheese Layer: Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry filling. Gently spread it out, ensuring an even layer without mixing the two layers.

5. Sprinkle the Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cream cheese layer.

6. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, ensuring most of the surface is moistened.

7. Optional Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans over the top for added texture and flavor.

8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.

9. Cool and Serve: Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
