It’s a comfortable treat that combines strawberry cheesecake and regular cake flavors. This Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake is perfect for busy weeknights, a snack, or a soft dessert when you want to eat something fresh. You can even prepare a keto or low-carb version with a replacement of a few simple ingredients, which retains the texture and flavor. This Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake takes fifty-five minutes to cook completely and freezes well for two months.

BUTTER:
- Butter should be natural butter and help proper baking in cake mixes. Use oil(coconut) as a keto replacement. Unsalted butter also works well.
GRANULATED SUGAR:
- It provides sweetness. For keto, you can substitute powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener in equal parts.
CAKE MIX:
