Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves
Dairy & Sweet Components:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Topping & Finishing:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, gradually incorporating granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and strawberry preserves into the cream cheese mixture, creating a vibrant and fruity base.
- Crack eggs into the cream cheese mixture and blend until fully integrated and uniform in texture.
- Sprinkle the white cake mix evenly across the prepared baking dish, ensuring complete coverage of the cream cheese layer.
- Drizzle melted butter uniformly over the dry cake mix, allowing it to penetrate and create a rich, moist foundation.
- Use a spatula to gently spread the butter, ensuring the cake mix is slightly moistened but not completely mixed.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
- Optional: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
- Slice and serve warm or chilled, enjoying the luscious blend of strawberry and cheesecake flavors.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing, preventing potential texture issues.
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries for maximum flavor and natural sweetness in the dessert.
- Avoid overmixing the cake mix with butter to maintain a crumbly, distinct texture that creates delightful pockets of moisture.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute white cake mix with a gluten-free alternative and check ingredient compatibility.
