Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (21 ounces / 595 grams) strawberry pie filling
Flavoring:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with grease to prevent sticking.
- Create the first layer by spreading strawberry pie filling uniformly across the prepared baking dish.
- Craft a creamy mixture by blending cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Carefully distribute cream cheese mixture in gentle dollops over the strawberry filling, ensuring even coverage.
- Generously sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix across the entire surface, creating a powdery layer.
- Drizzle melted butter strategically over the cake mix, aiming to cover as much of the powdery surface as possible.
- Transfer the prepared dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden brown and crispy top.
- Remove from oven and allow the dessert to cool slightly, helping the layers set and flavors meld.
- Optional: Enhance presentation by garnishing with fresh, vibrant strawberries before serving.
Notes
- Softening cream cheese at room temperature ensures a smoother, lump-free mixture for perfect texture.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for an extra burst of natural sweetness if garnishing the dessert.
- Gluten-free option works by substituting regular cake mix with a gluten-free yellow cake mix for those with dietary restrictions.
- Let the dessert cool completely to achieve a more stable, easier-to-slice consistency that holds its shape beautifully.
