Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and aid cleanup.
  2. Layer the Strawberry Pie Filling: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish, covering the entire surface.
  3. Add Cream Cheese Layer: Dollop softened cream cheese over the pie filling and gently spread it into an even layer.
  4. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cream cheese layer without mixing to form a crumbly topping.
  5. Top with Butter and Sugar: Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix layer, then sprinkle granulated sugar and drizzle vanilla extract evenly across the top to enhance sweetness and flavor.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and juices bubble around the edges.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for easier spreading and better texture.
  • Spread each layer evenly to ensure balanced flavor and baking consistency.
  • Check the cake between 40-50 minutes for perfect browning as oven temperatures vary.
  • Use a glass baking dish to monitor bubbling edges for doneness.
  • Allow the cake to cool 10-15 minutes before serving to set properly.
  • Variations include using fresh strawberries instead of pie filling, swapping in other fruit fillings like blueberry or cherry, gluten-free cake mix for gluten sensitivities, lowering sugar by selecting sugar-free pie fillings, or adding chopped nuts on top for crunch.
