Strawberry Angel Food Dump Cake
Oh honey, if you’ve ever wished for a dessert that feels like a strawberry-scented hug from the dessert gods, this is it.
This Strawberry Angel Food Dump Cake is so light, so fluffy, so effortlessly fabulous that it makes me feel like a kitchen genius every time I pull it out of the oven. No complicated steps, no fussy layering—just dump, mix, and bake!
The angel food cake mix works its magic, puffing up into the dreamiest, cloud-like texture, while the strawberry pie filling keeps everything moist and fruity.
And let’s be real—if I can throw this together while juggling my latest cake disaster (yes, the chocolate lava cake that turned into actual lava on my countertop), then you, my dear, can absolutely do this too.
So grab your favorite baking dish, a can of strawberry pie filling, and let’s make dessert so easy it practically bakes itself.
Just don’t forget the whipped cream—because even an angel cake deserves a little extra fluff on top.
