Ingredients & Substitutions

• Strawberry Pie Filling: The canned pie filling provides the base of the dessert with a sweet, fruity flavor. Any pie filling would work here!
• Strawberries: When in season, I love to use fresh strawberries. But, frozen berries will work–just thaw and drain them of any excess moisture.
• Cake Mix: Look for a box of white cake mix. Or, for a little different flavor profile, yellow or vanilla cake mix would also work.
• Butter: When the pats of unsalted butter are placed evenly over the cake mix, the cold butter melts as the cake bakes, forming a crisp, golden-brown crust.

Delicious Ways To Serve Strawberry Dump Cake

Here are a few of my favorite ways to serve strawberry dump cake:

• Whipped Cream
• No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
• No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream (for even more strawberry flavor!)
• Fresh Fruit
• Yogurt
• Alone! It really is delicious just as-is, so don’t forget about that option!

Crockpot Strawberry Dump Cake

Yes, you can make strawberry dump cake in a slow cooker or crockpot, and I think you should!  It is the same recipe and instructions, except you use a crockpot instead of the skillet and an oven. To make dump cake in a slow cooker, follow these steps:

1. Put the strawberry pie filling and strawberries in the bottom of a greased crockpot.
2. Top with the cake, and then butter.
3. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4. You can get the same great-tasting results with a slow cooker as with cooking in the oven. This is a great option if you are already using up some of your precious oven space.  I know cooking around the holidays, this happens to me quite a bit.

How To Store Strawberry Dump Cake

Once cooled to room temperature, store the dump cake, covered, in the refrigerator. It will last up to a few days. For longer storage, freeze the cake for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw from in the refrigerator overnight.
