Fruit Ingredients:
- 4 Pounds Strawberries (fresh)(roughly chopped)
- 2 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- ½ Cup Sugar
Cake Mix Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2½ Cups Flour
- 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 3 Sticks Unsalted Butter (sliced)
Prep the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, cornstarch, and ½ cup of sugar. Toss until the strawberries are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Mix the Cake Topping: In another large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Sprinkle this dry mixture evenly over the top of the strawberries.
Add the Butter: Place the slices of unsalted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer, covering as much of the surface as possible. The butter will melt and create a delicious golden crust during baking.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Let the dump cake cool for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate treat!
