Ingredients

Scale

Cake Base

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • Ingredients required on the cake mix box (typically oil, water, and 3 eggs)

Filling and Toppings

  • 1 can strawberry pie filling (21 oz)
  • 1–2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

Strawberry Glaze

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup strawberry preserves or jam
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or whipped topping

Optional

  • Additional whipped topping or ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Cake Batter: Prepare the yellow cake batter according to the instructions on the box, which usually requires adding oil, water, and eggs.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
  4. Add Strawberry Pie Filling: Spoon the entire can of strawberry pie filling evenly over the surface of the cake batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the filling into the batter for a marbled effect.
  5. Add Fresh Strawberries: Scatter the chopped fresh strawberries evenly over the pie filling and batter layer.
  6. Make the Strawberry Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, strawberry preserves, and milk (or whipped topping) until smooth and creamy.
  7. Drizzle Glaze: Drizzle the prepared strawberry cream cheese glaze evenly over the top of the cake mixture.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan. For extra indulgence, top with fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped topping or serve alongside ice cream.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of fresh strawberries according to your preference for more or less fruit.
  • For a richer glaze, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk or heavy cream.
  • To make cleanup easier, line the baking dish with parchment paper before greasing.
  • This cake is best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Warm the cake slightly before serving if refrigerated to soften the cream cheese glaze.
