Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sliced strawberries (fresh or thawed)
1 box yellow cake mix
½ cup butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture into the dish.
3. Evenly layer the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture.
4. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the strawberry layer. Do not stir.
5. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.
6. Bake for 45–55 minutes until the top is golden and center is set.
7. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
This cheesecake-style dessert is just as tasty cold as it is warm.
Use fresh or frozen strawberries—but drain thawed ones to avoid sogginess.
Don’t worry about dry cake mix patches; they crisp up beautifully when baked.
