Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (21 ounces / 595 grams) can strawberry pie filling
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
Dairy and Sweet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Create an even base layer of strawberry pie filling across the entire bottom of the prepared dish.
- Whip cream cheese with sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently cascade the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry foundation, ensuring complete coverage.
- Distribute the dry cake mix uniformly across the top of the cream cheese layer, creating a powdery blanket.
- Elegantly drench the cake mix surface with melted butter, allowing it to seep through the powder.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top transforms into a golden, effervescent crust.
- Remove from oven and permit the dessert to rest and settle for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and savor the decadent layers of strawberry, cream cheese, and buttery cake.
Notes
- Prevent cake mix from clumping by sifting it evenly across the top for a more uniform texture.
- Consider using fresh strawberries alongside pie filling for a brighter, more intense berry flavor and added freshness.
- Reduce sugar content by selecting a low-sugar cake mix and using reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
- Chill the dessert completely before serving to help set the layers and enhance the cheesecake-like consistency.
