Ingredients
2 (21-ounce) cans strawberry pie filling
1 (15.25 ounce) box vanilla, white, or yellow cake mix
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced thinly
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Pour both cans of strawberry pie filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix powder directly over the strawberry layer until fully covered.
Distribute thin slices of cold butter across the entire surface of the cake mix.
Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until the filling bubbles at the edges and the top turns golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the filling to set before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is spread in thin, even slices to cover the cake mix to prevent dry spots. Using a light-colored metal or glass baking dish helps with consistent heat conduction. Always wait for the dessert to cool sufficiently so the filling can thicken.
