Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2️⃣ Layer the strawberries: Spread the fresh or frozen strawberries evenly on the bottom of the dish. Pour the strawberry pie filling over the strawberries.
3️⃣ Make the cheesecake layer: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the strawberry layer (no need to spread it out—it will melt while baking!).
4️⃣ Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top. Do not stir!
5️⃣ Pour the butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Again, do not stir—this creates that delicious golden, crumbly topping.
6️⃣ Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
7️⃣ Cool and serve: Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.
