Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 (21-ounce) cans strawberry pie filling
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
- 3/4 cup salted butter, cut into thin slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Spread the strawberry pie filling: Evenly distribute the strawberry pie filling across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cake mix: Without stirring, evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the strawberry pie filling layer.
- Add the butter slices: Place the thin slices of salted butter evenly on top of the dry cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible to help create a moist cake.
- Bake the cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors set and make slicing easier.
Notes
- Do not stir the ingredients once layered; the cake mix will absorb moisture from the pie filling as it bakes.
- Use salted butter for balanced flavor; if using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the cake mix before baking.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
