Cake Topping
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow or white cake mix
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, sliced into thin pieces

Instructions

Prepare the Baking Dish
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Layer the Strawberry Filling
- Evenly spread the strawberry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Add the Cheesecake Layer
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry filling, spreading it gently to create an even layer.
Add the Cake Mix
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer, ensuring complete coverage. Do not mix.
Top with Butter
- Place the thin slices of butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix, covering as much area as possible.
Bake the Cake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool for 15-20 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy warm, or refrigerate for a chilled version.
