Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, dry
  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the 21 ounce can of strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the sliced fresh strawberries over the pie filling if using.
  4. In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the strawberry layer.
  6. Sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix evenly over the dish. Do not stir.
  7. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the cake mix.
  8. Lay the thin slices from the remaining unsalted butter across any dry areas on top.
  9. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges.
  10. Let the cake rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fully softened cream cheese for a lump-free filling. Serve warm or chilled, often paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
