Description
This easy strawberry dump cake is quick, homey, and full of bright berry flavor, with fresh strawberries baked under a crunchy cake topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 stick of butter (melted)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water (optional, for juiciness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse and slice the strawberries, then spread them evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cup of sugar evenly over the sliced strawberries. Optionally stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract with the sugar.
- Pour the yellow cake mix over the strawberries — do not stir. Drizzle melted butter across the surface, so it soaks into the cake mix.
- If desired for extra juiciness, carefully drizzle 1 cup of water around the dish before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve warm topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
