1-Begin with the basics: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. This prep work ensures your cake comes out clean and easy to serve.

2-Next, melt the butter in a medium bowl using the microwave, which takes just a minute or two.

3-Once that’s done, add the cake mix to the melted butter and stir with a fork until it forms a crumbly texture like wet sand; set it aside for now.

4-Pour the two cans of strawberry pie filling evenly into the greased dish to create the fruity base.

5-Then, arrange the thin slices of cream cheese over the strawberry layer for that creamy surprise.

6-Now, sprinkle the crumbly cake mixture evenly on top to finish the assembly.

7-Pop it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and the strawberries are bubbly.

8-Let it cool slightly before serving warm, and you’ll enjoy a dessert that’s full of flavor and texture.

9-First Step: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it to prevent sticking. This method ensures a perfect balance of creamy and fruity layers with a crisp topping.

10-Second Step: Spread the softened cream cheese or its substitute evenly, then layer the pie filling and topping as described.
