Ingredients

Scale

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or use thawed frozen)

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ cup melted butter

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar


Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Make the Cheesecake Mixture

  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

  • Set aside.

3. Prepare the Strawberry Layer

  • In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.

  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened (5–7 minutes).

  • Let cool slightly.

4. Mix the Cake Batter

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  • Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth and lump-free.

5. Assemble the Dump Cake

  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared dish.

  • Spoon the cheesecake mixture in dollops and gently swirl with a knife.

  • Top with strawberry mixture, spreading evenly.

6. Add the Topping

  • Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top.

  • Sprinkle with granulated sugar for a crisp, golden finish.

7. Bake

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the center is set and edges are golden.

  • Cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For best flavor, let the cake cool slightly so the layers set and the cheesecake firms up.

  • Use a clear glass baking dish if you want to showcase the gorgeous layers for presentation.
