Strawberry Earthquake Cake
Brie Goldman | Food Styling: Sammy Mila
You’re looking at our most-saved strawberry dessert of all time, and for good reason. It has all the ease of a classic dump cake but gets elevated with the addition of a rich cheesecake cream swirl. Finish with fresh chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips for a showstopping dessert everyone will rave about.
Strawberry Crunch Cake
Jake Sternquist
Inspired by the strawberry ice cream bars we loved as kids, this shortcut crunch cake starts with a boxed mix. After baking, it’s topped with a thick cream cheese frosting and finished with a crunchy mix of freeze-dried strawberries and crushed cookies—just like the classic crumb coating on the nostalgic frozen treat.
Strawberry Delight
Jake Sternquist
Our readers have been saving this no-bake dessert all summer long. Layers of cheesecake cream, strawberries, and whipped topping have earned rave reviews like, ‘I made this last night and our family loved it!’ and this ‘Fabulous! All that tried it were amazed.’ Prep it ahead and stash it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before you plan to serve.
4-Ingredient Strawberry Dump Cake

A couple of key twists set this dump cake apart from the rest. A crushed pretzel topping adds a salty crunch that perfectly balances the sweet strawberry filling and yellow cake. For an extra indulgent touch, top it with our optional-but-recommended cheesecake whipped cream to take this dessert to the next level.
No-Churn Ice Cream
When strawberries are at their peak, puree them into the most delicious homemade strawberry ice cream. We’re sharing how to make a simple no-churn base with cream and sweetened condensed milk, then sharing creative flavor ideas like triple berry, salted mocha, and birthday cake.
Fresh Strawberry Sheet Cake
Jake Sternquist
This 5-star review from a BHG home cook speaks for itself: “The strawberry frosting for this recipe might have been my favorite ever! It was so luscious and sweet. I would definitely make this cake again. The only thing I would mention is that after the remaining decoration berries sat on the cake for a while in the fridge, the juices started leaking and ran all over the cake. If you do not prefer this, I recommend serving strawberry slices on the side to serve with the cake.”
Strawberry Upside-Down Cake
Kelsey Hansen
Like classic pineapple upside-down cake, the fruit bakes on the bottom of this easy dessert. To assemble, toss freshly sliced strawberries with sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and cornstarch, and pour into a baking dish. Top with a prepared yellow cake mix and bake. To serve, flip the cake onto a platter and garnish with more fresh strawberries.
Watermelon Fries with Strawberry Yogurt Dip
Jake Sternquist
Watermelon and strawberries are a match made in summer heaven. In this playful twist, crinkle-cut watermelon “fries” are paired with a homemade strawberry yogurt dip. It’s a fun treat that’s perfect for parties or anytime you’re craving something sweet and refreshing.
Fresh Strawberry-Rhubarb Dump Cake
Rachel Marek. Prop Styling: Gabe Greco
When fresh rhubarb is in season, use it to make this sweet strawberry dump cake. There’s no artificial strawberry flavor here, just fresh fruit and cake mix. Our recipe testers like it best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Deviled Strawberries
Rachel Marek
Deviled eggs have some sweet competition. This top-saved strawberry recipe starts with fresh berry halves filled with homemade cream. Keep it classic with our cheesecake-inspired filling, or mix things up with sweet variations like lemon, caramel, or chocolate cream.
