Diva's Little Extras
Add Fresh Strawberries and Lemon Zest
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced),
zest of 1 lemon.
Instructions:
Mix the fresh strawberries and lemon zest with the strawberry pie filling before spreading it in the baking dish. This adds a burst of fresh flavor and a hint of citrus that brightens up the dessert. The combination of fresh and canned strawberries provides a delightful texture contrast.
Use White Cake Mix and Add Cream Cheese Layer
Ingredients:
Substitute the yellow cake mix with a white cake mix, 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese (softened),
1/2 cup granulated sugar,
1 egg.
Instructions:
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and egg together until smooth. After spreading the strawberry pie filling, dollop the cream cheese mixture on top and swirl it slightly before adding the cake mix. This adds a creamy, tangy layer that complements the sweetness of the strawberries and adds richness to the cake.
Incorporate Rhubarb and Ginger
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped rhubarb,
1 teaspoon ground ginger.
Instructions:
Mix the chopped rhubarb and ground ginger with the strawberry pie filling before spreading it in the baking dish. The rhubarb adds a tart flavor that balances the sweetness of the strawberries, and the ginger adds a warm, spicy note that enhances the overall flavor profile.
Garnish: Add a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry slice on each piece.
