Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry pie filling, spreading it gently.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the cream cheese and strawberry layers.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, ensuring most of the surface is covered.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Let the cake cool slightly, then serve warm, garnished with fresh strawberries if desired.
Tips for Success
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for a smooth texture.
Spread the butter as evenly as possible to ensure the cake mix bakes properly.
Check the cake at the 40-minute mark to prevent over-baking.
Additional Tips and Variations
Feel free to experiment with different pie fillings, such as blueberry or cherry, for a twist on this classic recipe. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cake mix for a hint of spice.
