Step-by-Step Instructions
To start my delightful adventure with this dump cake, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab my trusty 9×13 inch baking dish. I love the excitement of dusting off my baking tools and whipping up something delicious! First, I pour the strawberry pie filling into the bottom of the dish, spreading it out evenly. It’s such a vibrant color, and just the sight of those plump strawberries makes my mouth water! On top of that, I mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until it’s smooth and creamy. Believe me, the cream cheese layer adds a luxurious touch to the cake. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
