STRAWBERRY DUMP CAKE, MY WAY

When you love strawberries, there's always a recipe waiting
to be tested. But first here's a strawberry food fact. It ranks
among the top 50 best antioxidant sources among commonly 
eaten foods. When only fruits were considered, then the
strawberry ranked 4th, behind blackberries, cranberries,
and raspberries. This from www.whfoods.com So eat your
strawberries folks.
There are many dump cake recipes. Using different fruits
and cake mixes, the list is long. They are tasty and easy to
prepare.
Here's my adapted version after looking at a lot of different
recipes.

Ingredients:

1 can (21 ounces) strawberry pie filling
2  heaping cups of fresh cut up strawberries *
1 box strawberry cake mix
1 stick melted butter
1/2 tsp. strawberry extract (optional) I had it so I used it


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a nonstick 9x13 baking pan with a baking spray.
In a medium bowl combine the pie filling, extract, and the 
  strawberries, stir gently till combined.
Put the mixture into the baking pan. Spread carefully
  to cover the entire bottom.
In a medium size bowl pour the cake mix, to this add the
  1 stick melted butter, then mix together for crumbling.
  Sprinkle over the filling mixture. *
Bake 30 minutes or until you see the strawberry mixture
  bubbling. Mine was done in about 28 minutes.
Let set up for about 10 minutes, then serve with whipped
  cream, cool whip or vanilla ice cream.
Refrigerate. Can heat up or serve cold. Both good.
Easy peasy recipe. Enjoy..
