Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 21 oz can of strawberry pie filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Topping

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese layer: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Add the strawberry filling: Spoon the strawberry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer, creating a smooth top layer.
  4. Sprinkle the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the strawberry filling. Try to cover the surface completely for consistent baking.
  5. Pour the melted butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer to help it bake into a golden, crisp topping.
  6. Bake the cake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Cool before serving: Allow the cake to cool slightly for about 15-20 minutes before serving to let it set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and melted unsalted butter.
  • You can substitute fresh or frozen strawberries, but adjust baking time as needed for moisture content.
  • This cake can be served warm or chilled and pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • To make cutting easier, let the dessert cool completely or refrigerate for an hour.
  • Use a spatula to serve, as the cake will be moist and gooey.
