Instructions
- Warm the oven to a toasty 350F (175C), preparing the stage for a delectable dessert creation.
- Generously coat a 9×13-inch baking vessel with non-stick spray, ensuring a seamless release.

- Artfully dollop the cheesecake mixture over the strawberry base, using a gentle touch to distribute evenly.
- Blanket the cheesecake layer completely with a uniform snowfall of dry yellow cake mix, covering every inch.
- Drizzle molten butter across the cake mix landscape, ensuring complete and even coverage to create a golden, crisp exterior.
- Transfer the assembled masterpiece to the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for 45-50 minutes until the top turns a rich golden brown and the filling bubbles with excitement.
- Rescue the cake from the oven and let it rest and settle for approximately 15 minutes.

Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing.

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries instead of pie filling for a more natural, vibrant flavor.
- Customize cake mix by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or almond extract for extra depth.
