Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 (21 oz) cans of strawberry pie filling
- 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, sliced thin
Cake Topping
- 1 (15.25 oz) vanilla or French vanilla cake mix
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make clean up easier.
- Mix Cake Topping: In a medium bowl, melt the stick of butter. Add the vanilla cake mix and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Add Strawberry Filling: Pour the two cans of strawberry pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to cover the entire bottom.
- Add Cream Cheese: Slice the cream cheese into thin pieces and lay these slices evenly over the strawberry filling to add a creamy texture.
- Top with Cake Mixture: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly cake topping over the cream cheese and strawberry filling layer.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Let the cake cool slightly and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier slicing and better distribution.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to let it set slightly.
- You can substitute strawberry pie filling with fresh strawberries mixed with a bit of sugar and cornstarch if desired.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake topping mixture.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved to suit different serving needs.
