3-Ingredient Strawberry Chocolate Dump Cake
Description
To make the strawberry chocolate dump cake, strawberry pie filling is spooned into ramekins, followed by an even layer of dry chocolate cake mix. Sliced butter pieces are distributed over the cake mix to help it moisten and bake into a tender crumb. The ramekins bake at 350°F for around 30-35 minutes until bubbly and cooked through.
The combination results in a moist, richly flavored dessert where the chocolate cake topping forms a slightly crisp surface over the sweet, juicy strawberry filling. The butter adds richness and helps bind the topping.
This recipe can be scaled up to serve more people by baking in a larger dish or cut down for single servings. Serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream offers an appealing texture and temperature contrast. Alternative pie fillings and cake mixes provide flavor variations.
Ingredients
- ½ cup strawberry pie filling
- ½ cup chocolate cake mix just the dry mix, dry
- 2 tablespoons butter sliced into thin squares
- vanilla ice cream optional for serving
- Whipped Cream
- chocolate syrup
- strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray two ramekins, large mugs, or oven-safe bowls with cooking spray.
- Place ¼ cup of strawberry pie filling in each ramekin. Sprinkle ¼ cup dry cake mix over pie filling in each ramekin. Divide butter over top of the cake mix in each ramekin, trying to cover as much of the cake mix as possible.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and put in the oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes (or until cooked through and bubbly).
Notes
- Scale ingredients for desired servings, cutting in half for one cake or doubling for four.
- For a crowd-size cake, use a 13x9-inch dish and bake about 40 minutes at 350°F.
- Slice butter thinly to cover the cake mix evenly for consistent melting and moist texture.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a creamy contrast.
- Substitute other pie fillings like cherry or blueberry and different cake mixes for variations.
