Ingredients

Scale

Cake and Filling:

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 1 (21 ounces / 595 grams) can strawberry pie filling

Cheese Layer:

  • 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing a 9×13 inch baking dish for a delectable dessert creation.
  2. Evenly distribute strawberry pie filling across the bottom of the baking dish, creating a vibrant fruity base.
  3. Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  4. Carefully dollop the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry pie filling, creating random, enticing patches.
  5. Generously cascade dry cake mix across the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage of the cream cheese layers.
  6. Elegantly drizzle melted butter over the cake mix, allowing it to seep through the powdery texture.
  7. Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a bubbling, golden-brown transformation.
  8. Allow the dessert to cool slightly, then serve warm for a gooey experience or chill for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Easily swap strawberry pie filling with other fruit preserves like blueberry or raspberry for variety and personalized flavor profiles.
  • Create a gluten-free version by using a gluten-free cake mix, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delightful dessert.
  • For a lighter option, substitute reduced-fat cream cheese and use a sugar-free cake mix to cut down on calories without sacrificing taste.
  • Enhance the texture by adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds on top before baking, introducing a delicious crunch to the soft, creamy base.
