Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cans strawberry pie filling

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cake Layer

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (dry)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted

Topping

  • 8 oz whipped topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Strawberry Pie Filling: Evenly spread the strawberry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a flavorful base layer.
  3. Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread Cheesecake Layer: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry filling and gently spread to cover as evenly as possible without mixing into the filling.
  5. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cheesecake layer, taking care not to stir or blend with the layers below.
  6. Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the entire surface of the cake mix, ensuring most areas are covered to aid browning and create a crisp topping.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the dessert is bubbly around the edges.
  8. Cool and Add Toppings: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Then spread the whipped topping evenly over the warm cake.
  9. Garnish: Top with fresh sliced strawberries and sprinkle powdered sugar over the whipped topping for a beautiful and tasty finish.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure it mixes smoothly without lumps.
  • Be careful not to stir the layers after adding the dry cake mix to maintain the distinct layers and textures.
  • Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen, but fresh provides the best flavor and appearance.
  • This cake is best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
  • You can replace the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if desired for a fresher taste.
