Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced; you can substitute with frozen strawberries)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened; low-fat cream cheese works well too)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or gluten-free cake mix)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted; coconut oil can be used as a dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup milk (almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a medium bowl and let them sit for 10 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, milk, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until just combined.
- Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture over this layer, followed by the marinated strawberries. Finally, pour the remaining cake batter on top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for 10-15 minutes and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is completely softened for a smooth filling. You can use frozen strawberries without thawing.
