Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can strawberry pie filling
- 1 (18.25 ounces / 517 grams) box yellow cake mix
- 1 (8 ounces / 227 grams) package cream cheese, softened
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams / 4 ounces) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) to create the perfect baking environment.
- Distribute strawberry pie filling uniformly across the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, creating a vibrant fruity base.
- Whip cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Gently dollop cream cheese mixture over the strawberry layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Evenly scatter dry yellow cake mix across the cream cheese surface, creating a textured landscape.
- Drizzle melted butter generously over the cake mix, aiming to saturate most of the powdery layer.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown, effervescent top that signals perfect doneness.
- Let the dessert rest and slightly cool to allow flavors to meld, then serve either warm or at ambient temperature for a delectable treat.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese completely at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing and perfect texture.
- Use full-fat cream cheese to ensure rich, creamy consistency and deeper flavor profile in the dessert.
- Opt for fresh strawberry pie filling or homemade filling for more vibrant and authentic strawberry taste.
- Customize cake by substituting gluten-free cake mix for a celiac-friendly version without compromising deliciousness.
