Description
An easy, one‑pan dessert combining strawberry pie filling, fresh strawberries, and a creamy cheesecake layer, topped with cake mix and butter for a quick and indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can strawberry pie filling (approx. 21–30 oz)
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
- 10 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
- Pour the strawberry pie filling into a 9×13‑inch baking dish. Gently fold in the fresh sliced strawberries.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the strawberries in the baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle the cake mix over the cream cheese layer—do not stir or mix the layers.
- Pour the melted butter over the top of the cake mix layer.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the cake stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
- Do not mix the layers after assembling—this helps keep distinct textures.
- Fresh strawberries add texture, but you can use extra pie filling if fresh are unavailable.
- Letting the cake rest ensures it sets slightly and makes serving easier.
