Tips for the Best Strawberry Dump Cake

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor, but frozen works too (just don’t thaw first).
Don’t stir the cake mix into the strawberries—it needs to stay on top to create that signature buttery topping.
For extra richness, use more butter! A few extra pats on top will make it extra golden and delicious.
Let it rest for 10-15 minutes after baking so the filling thickens.

Substitutions and Variations

Want to add more flavor? Try mixing in blueberries, raspberries, or even sliced peaches.
Make it extra crunchy by adding chopped pecans or almonds on top before baking.
Prefer a chocolatey twist? Swap the yellow cake mix for chocolate cake mix—trust me, it’s divine.
Gluten-free version? Use a gluten-free cake mix, and you’re all set!

Make a Healthier Version

Swap granulated sugar for honey or maple syrup.
Use a sugar-free cake mix for a lower-carb option.
Reduce the butter by half and drizzle with melted coconut oil instead.

And there you have it!

A Fresh Strawberry Dump Cake that’s as easy as it is irresistible. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and watch it disappear. Perfect for anytime you need a quick dessert fix!
