Spread the cream cheese filling mixture over the strawberry pie filling in the baking dish.

Place the thin pats of butter over the top of the dump cake layers. (try to cover most of the cake with the butter this will help prevent dry cake mix spots).

Tips and tricks to make this easy dump cake recipe:

Cake mix flavor to use:

To get the flavors as close to the strawberry cheesecake flavors, I like to use vanilla cake mix, but you could use a box of yellow cake mix in its place.

However, using strawberry cake mix might overpower the cheesecake flavors. However, it will work, especially if you love strawberries.

Can I use fresh fruit?

While fresh strawberries are delicious, they will not work for this recipe. But, if you want to make homemade strawberry pie filling, you could use it in place of the cans of strawberry pie filling.
