Layers of strawberry, cheesecake, and cake come together in a simple, irresistible bake.
# What You'll Need:
→ Easy Base Layers
01 -
1 box yellow or white cake mix (about 15.25 ounces)
02 -
1 can strawberry pie filling (21 ounces)
03 -
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
→ Creamy Cheesecake Layer
04 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
05 -
0.5 cup granulated sugar
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure easy release after baking.
02 -
Spread strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the base layer.
03 -
Beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until completely smooth and creamy.
04 -
Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry layer and gently spread it for partial coverage, allowing some strawberry to remain visible.
05 -
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the entire surface without stirring to preserve the signature layered texture.
06 -
Drizzle melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix, covering as much area as possible without mixing.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden, slightly crisp, and bubbling at the edges.
08 -
Allow the dessert to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for a gooey texture or chill for a firmer cheesecake consistency.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, use brick-style cream cheese and ensure it is fully softened for a smooth topping.
02 -
This dish is especially delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh sliced strawberries.
