Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Fruit Layer

  • 1 (21-ounce) can strawberry pie filling

Cake Topping

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) vanilla cake mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully blended.
  3. Layer in Pan: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish ensuring full coverage for a uniform layer.
  4. Add Strawberry Filling: Spoon the strawberry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer distributing as evenly as possible without stirring.
  5. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry vanilla cake mix evenly over the strawberry filling layer. Do not mix or stir.
  6. Add Butter, Milk, and Vanilla: Pour the melted butter evenly across the top of the cake mix, then drizzle the milk and vanilla extract over the butter to help moisten the cake topping during baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for several minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled according to preference.

Notes

  • For firmer cheesecake layers, refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving.
  • You can substitute the strawberry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry or cherry for variety.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
  • Do not stir after sprinkling the cake mix to maintain the distinct layers.
  • This recipe is best served within 2 days but can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
