Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cooking spray
1 16- to 18-ounce box white cake mix (plus required ingredients)
1 pound strawberries, hulled and chopped
3 yellow peaches, pitted and chopped
3 tablespoons sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix (plus required ingredients)
Yellow and red food coloring
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch square, 2 1/4-inch-deep cake pan with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as directed; pour the batter into the pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Cool slightly, then invert onto a rack; cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the "soup": Combine the strawberries, peaches, sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the fruit breaks down, about 15 minutes.
  • Puree the sauce with an immersion blender (or in a blender) until mostly smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Prepare the pudding as directed; tint with yellow and red food coloring to resemble melted cheese.
  • Trim the top of the cake with a large serrated knife to make it level.
  • Cut the cake in half horizontally.
  • Preheat the broiler. Put the cake on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush the top with the melted butter. Broil until toasted, about 4 minutes.
  • Cut the cake in half diagonally. Spread the pudding on the bottom triangles, almost all the way to the edge.
  • Cover with the toasted top triangles, pressing gently so the pudding oozes out. Serve with the fruit sauce.
