A quick and effortless dessert combining creamy cheesecake layers with sweet strawberry filling and a crumbly yellow cake topping, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Pour the strawberry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer without stirring.
  5. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the strawberry layer.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. If the cake darkens too much before bubbling, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  8. Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow layers to set, though it can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Always soften cream cheese and butter before mixing to avoid lumps. Ensure melted butter covers all the dry cake mix to prevent dry spots. Let the cake cool before slicing for cleaner pieces. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute cream cheese and cake mix accordingly.
