Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh? Yes! However, make sure to thaw and pat them dry first to avoid adding too much extra liquid to the cake. Do I need to mix the cake mix with the butter first? No, the magic of a "dump cake" is that you sprinkle the dry mix and pour the liquids over it. The butter and milk will soak in as it bakes! Can I store leftovers on the counter? Since this recipe features a Dessert Made With Cream Cheese, it’s best to keep it in the refrigerator. Just reheat a slice for 20 seconds when you're ready for more! What is the best way to serve this? It is incredible on its own, but a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream really takes it to the next level for Easy Summer Dessert Ideas.
