Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Layer

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and sliced or cubed

Cake Topping

  • 1 box (about 15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar and vanilla extract. Mix gently to coat the berries evenly, forming the sweet and juicy base for the cake.
  2. Layer the Cream Cheese: Slice or cube softened cream cheese and evenly distribute it over the strawberry mixture in the baking dish. This will provide the creamy cheesecake layer in every bite.
  3. Add the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly and directly on top of the cream cheese and strawberry layers. Avoid mixing so the topping stays crumbly and creates a crisp crust when baked.
  4. Pour Melted Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire cake mix layer. This butter will help the cake topping to bake into a golden, rich crust.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled dish for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly, releasing a delightful aroma.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading and even baking.
  • Do not stir or mix the layers after adding cake mix to maintain a crumbly topping.
  • Use fresh strawberries especially when in season for maximum flavor and sweetness.
  • If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning while baking through.
  • Allow the cake to cool before serving to let layers set for cleaner slices.
