Instructions:

Preheat & Prepare Pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Make Cake Batter:
Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions (usually by mixing with eggs, oil, and water).
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading evenly.
Add Strawberry Filling:
Spoon the strawberry pie filling in dollops over the cake batter.
Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the filling into the batter (do not fully mix).
Prepare Cream Cheese Topping:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter.
Swirl lightly with a knife for a marbled effect.
Bake:
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding cream cheese streaks) comes out clean.
Cool & Serve:
Let the cake cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Optional: Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
