Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 15.25 oz package of vanilla or French vanilla cake mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter, melted
  • 2 (21 oz) cans of strawberry pie filling

Dairy

  • 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature while you prepare the ingredients.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Mix the cake topping: In a medium-sized bowl, melt the stick of butter. Add the cake mix to the melted butter and mix well with a fork until combined and crumbly.
  4. Add the strawberry filling: Pour both cans of strawberry pie filling evenly into the prepared 9×13 baking dish, spreading it out smoothly to cover the bottom layer.
  5. Layer the cream cheese: Slice the cream cheese into thin pieces and lay them evenly on top of the strawberry filling, distributing evenly to get creamy pockets in the cake.
  6. Add the crumbly topping: Pour the crumbly cake mixture over the cream cheese layer and spread it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
  7. Bake the cake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the strawberry filling is bubbling and the top is lightly golden brown.
  8. Serve warm: Let the cake cool slightly then serve warm for the best gooey and creamy experience.

Notes

  • Using French vanilla cake mix adds a richer vanilla flavor but vanilla cake mix works just as well.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is sliced thinly so it melts evenly during baking.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • This dessert can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
  • For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and butter substitutes.
