Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Layer

  • 4 cups fresh ripe strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Strawberries: Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Toss them gently with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice (if using) to enhance sweetness and release juices during baking.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to create the cheesecake filling.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Grease a baking dish and evenly spread the sweetened strawberries over the bottom. Dollop and gently spread the cheesecake mixture over the strawberries.
  4. Add the Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cheesecake layer. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix to help it bake into a golden, crispy topping. Optionally, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar on top.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbles form around the edges. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother cheesecake layer.
  • Don’t overmix or press the cake topping to maintain a light and crisp texture.
  • Fresh strawberries provide better flavor and texture compared to frozen or canned.
  • Check baking time to avoid overbrowning or drying out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool before slicing to allow the layers to set.
