Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (21 oz/595 g) strawberry pie filling
- 1 box (15.25 oz/432 g) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks/227 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz/226 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven rack centrally and preheat to 350F (175C), ensuring optimal baking conditions for this decadent dessert.
- Foundation Layer: Spray 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray, then evenly spread strawberry pie filling to create a vibrant fruity base.
- Cream Cheese Blend: Whip cream cheese using electric mixer until smooth, gradually integrating sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a luxurious, silky consistency.
- Layering Technique: Gently distribute cream cheese mixture over strawberry filling, ensuring complete and uniform coverage across the entire surface.
- Cake Mix Application: Completely blanket cream cheese layer with dry yellow cake mix, then meticulously drizzle melted butter to saturate the entire cake mix surface, promoting even browning and moisture.
- Baking Process: Slide prepared dish into preheated oven and bake 45-50 minutes until top transforms into a rich golden landscape and filling bubbles enticingly around edges.
- Finishing Touch: Allow dessert to cool and settle for 15 minutes post-baking, then serve warm accompanied by optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for ultimate indulgence.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing and easier blending.
- Even Cream Cheese Distribution: Use a spatula or spoon to gently spread cream cheese dollops uniformly across strawberry layer, preventing dense pockets.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: Check cake around 40-minute mark to prevent over-browning; golden color indicates perfect doneness without burning.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Substitute yellow cake mix with gluten-free alternative and verify all ingredients are certified gluten-free for sensitive dietary needs.
