Crock Pot Strawberry Dump Cake will produce a wonderful cobbler like dessert that you will love. You can make a can version or a fresh strawberry dump cake. Once baked, a strawberry dump cake comes out like a cross between a cake and scrumptious cobbler. Soft ooey-gooey bars come to mind, except more scoopable.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Moisture Magic 💦
For a perfectly moist dump cake, sprinkle 1/4 cup of water over the cake mix before adding butter to ensure even hydration and prevent dry spots.
Fresh vs. Canned Strawberry Hack 🍓
If using fresh strawberries, macerate them with sugar and lemon juice for 15 minutes before adding to the crockpot to intensify flavor and release natural juices.
Butter Distribution Technique 🧈
Cut cold butter into thin, uniform slices and distribute evenly across the top of the cake mix for more consistent melting and a crispy, golden-brown topping.
Crockpot Liner Pro Tip 🥣
Use a slow cooker liner or parchment paper for effortless serving and cleanup, preventing sticky residue and making portion removal a breeze.
Cornstarch Thickening Trick 🥄
Mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water before adding to the strawberry mixture to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, perfectly thickened filling.
