Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cheesecake Layer

01 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 67 grams granulated sugar
04 - 225 grams cream cheese, at room temp

→ Strawberry Filling

05 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
06 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
07 - 100 grams granulated sugar
08 - 450 grams strawberries, fresh and sliced or same amount of frozen berries, thawed

→ Cake Layer

09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 240 milliliters whole milk
11 - 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
12 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
13 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
14 - 100 grams granulated sugar
15 - 190 grams all-purpose flour

→ Topping

16 - 67 grams granulated sugar
17 - 115 grams unsalted butter, melted

# Instructions:

01 - Pop your oven on 175°C and grab some butter or spray to grease a 23x33 cm pan.
02 - Grab a bowl and blend cream cheese, sugar, the egg, and vanilla until it’s nice and smooth. Set aside when done.
03 - Toss strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice into a pot. Set to medium heat. Stir here and there as it cooks. When it’s thick and kind of jammy, about 5–7 minutes, take it off and let it cool for a bit.
04 - First, dump flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a big bowl and give it a whisk. Pour in that melted butter, splash in all the milk, add vanilla, and stir until it’s totally smooth.
05 - Pour cake batter into your ready pan. Plop little bits of that cheesecake layer over the top, then grab a butter knife or spatula and swirl it around gently.
06 - Take the strawberry filling and spoon it all over the top. Don’t mix it in, just let it sit on top.
07 - Pour melted butter all over the batter. Sprinkle the sugar for a nice crunchy top.
08 - Slide the pan into the oven. Let it bake for 40–45 minutes. When the edges look golden and the center feels set, pull it out. Wait at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

# Notes:

01 - Your cream cheese should be soft and not cold. That way your mix turns out super smooth.
02 - Stick with fresh, perfectly ripe strawberries, or if you use frozen, let them drain first.
