One package cream cheese softened eight ounces
One-half cup granulated sugar
One teaspoon vanilla extract
Two large eggs
One-half cup unsalted butter melted
For the Topping
One cup fresh strawberries sliced
One-fourth cup powdered sugar for dusting optional
One-half cup whipped cream optional
Instructions
Step One: Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit or one hundred seventy-five degrees Celsius.
Grease a nine-by-thirteen-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step Two: Layer the Ingredients
Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry layer and spread it evenly.
Step Three: Add the Cake Mix
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer. Do not mix it in.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, ensuring as much of the surface is covered as possible.
Step Four: Bake the Cake
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for forty to forty-five minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for at least fifteen minutes before serving.
Step Five: Garnish and Serve
Top with fresh sliced strawberries for added flavor and presentation.
Dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
