Ingredients
1 box strawberry cake mix
1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: whipped cream and fresh strawberries for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a lovely 9×13-inch baking dish to keep your cake from sticking.
Spread the luscious strawberry pie filling evenly onto the bottom of your prepared baking dish. This will be the delightful base of your cake.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.
Now, spoon this lovely cream cheese mixture over the strawberry pie filling layer in the baking dish, making sure to spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the dry strawberry cake mix generously over the cream cheese layer—oh, what a lovely sight!
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer, ensuring every bit is sprinkled with that buttery goodness.
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling with joy.
You’ll want to let the cake cool slightly before serving. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh strawberries for a truly delightful treat!
