Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or white cake mix
2 cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

For topping (optional):
Whipped cream
Fresh strawberries, sliced
Strawberry sauce or syrup

Preparation Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish, creating the first layer.

3. In a small bowl, gently break the softened cream cheese into chunks and distribute them evenly over the strawberry layer.

4. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the cream cheese and strawberry filling, forming a cheesecake-style crust layer.

5. Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the entire surface. Do not stir the layers together.

6. Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible for even baking.

7. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

8. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. The center will set more as it cools.
