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)

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting
- optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased baking dish.
- Layer the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese mixture.
- In another bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, milk, and salt until just mixed; pour this batter over the strawberries.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For a healthier twist, substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar and use low-fat cream cheese. You can also use dairy-free options for butter and milk if desired.
