Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla or white cake mix
- 1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese (softened and cubed)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries and whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Filling: Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the cubed cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. Spoon the mixture over the strawberry filling in dollops.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top.
- Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, moistening as much of the surface as possible.

Notes
- For a sweeter finish, drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze or white chocolate.
- Try using fresh sliced strawberries in place of some of the pie filling for added texture.
