Ingredients
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (or almond extract)
1 box yellow cake mix (gluten-free option available)
1 cup unsalted butter, melted (use clarified butter if desired)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter
Layer strawberries and strawberry pie filling evenly in the pan
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth; drop spoonfuls over fruit layer
Sprinkle cake mix on top without spreading evenly
Pour melted butter as a liquid layer over the cake mix
Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and bubbling
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving
Notes
Use fully softened cream cheese to avoid lumps
Don’t skip the liquid butter layer—it enhances caramelization
Top with warm whipped cream blended with brown sugar for extra richness
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature
