Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow or white cake mix
- 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional Add-Ins:
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (for a warm touch)
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (for crunch)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (for extra fruitiness)
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips (for sweetness)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2️⃣ Prepare the cheesecake layer: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
3️⃣ Layer the strawberry filling: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly in the baking dish. If using fresh strawberries, scatter them over the pie filling.
4️⃣ Add the cheesecake mixture: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberries and gently spread it.
5️⃣ Top with dry cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the cake mix over the cheesecake layer. Do not stir.
6️⃣ Drizzle melted butter: Pour melted butter evenly over the cake mix, covering as much as possible.
7️⃣ Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
8️⃣ Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled with whipped cream or ice cream!
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top before baking.
- For a less sweet version, use unsweetened strawberries and a sugar-free cake mix.
- Make it ahead: This cake can be assembled a day in advance and baked fresh when needed.
- Serving suggestions: Pair with vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, or fresh berries.
