Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large can 28–30 oz sliced strawberries in syrup
  • 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 oz
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1.5 sticks 12 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread canned strawberries with syrup evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  3. Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly over the strawberries without stirring.
  4. Mix flour, sugar, and salt; add melted butter and vanilla to create coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle crumble mixture over the cake mix in an even layer.
  6. Bake 45–55 minutes until golden brown and bubbly at the edges.
  7. Cool 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Never stir the layers. Allow proper cooling to avoid a soupy texture. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for 4–5 days.
