Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 (21 ounce) cans strawberry pie filling
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Filling: Spread the two cans of strawberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base.
- Add the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix evenly over the strawberry filling, making sure to cover it completely without mixing.
- Drizzle Butter: Pour the melted salted butter evenly over the cake mix layer. Avoid stirring; this will help the cake mix bake into a golden, crisp topping.
- Bake the Cake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top turns a light golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to let it set slightly for easier slicing.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers to maintain the distinct textures of fruit filling and crumbly topping.
- Use salted butter to enhance the flavor; if using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe is very adaptable; try substituting other pie fillings like cherry or blueberry.
