→ Base
01 -
1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
→ Cheesecake Layer
02 -
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
03 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Cake Topping
05 -
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
06 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch dish.
02 -
Spread the canned strawberry pie filling evenly across the base.
03 -
Beat softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Drop small spoonfuls over the fruit.
04 -
Scatter the measured 15.25 ounces of dry yellow cake mix in an even layer.
05 -
Drizzle melted butter slowly over as much of the surface as possible. Bake about forty-five to fifty minutes, checking for bubbling edges and fully cooked topping without dry powder pockets.
06 -
Redistribute visible pooled butter over dry patches carefully if necessary and continue baking.
07 -
Rest briefly before spooning into bowls. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use 15.25 ounces of yellow cake mix. Weigh the dry cake mix if the box size differs from 15.25 ounces. This recipe layers the dry mix directly over the fruit and cream cheese; it does not use the eggs, water or oil printed in the cake-box preparation directions. Distribute the cream cheese in small spoonfuls rather than one central mound. Scatter cake mix evenly and drizzle butter across the whole surface. Inspect the center as well as the bubbling edge for dry powder pockets, carefully redistributing pooled butter where needed and continuing until the topping is cooked. Serve with a spoon: this is a layered dessert, not a firm cake designed for clean slices.
