Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Base:

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

For the Cream Cheese Swirl:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins and Toppings:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • In a large bowl, mix the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until smooth.

  2. Make the Cream Cheese Swirl:

    • In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with melted butter until smooth.
    • Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.

  3. Assemble the Cake:

    • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter.
    • Use a knife to gently swirl the cream cheese into the cake, creating a marbled effect.

  4. Add Toppings & Bake:

    • Sprinkle the white chocolate chips and chopped strawberries evenly over the top.
    • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. Cool & Serve:

    • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to reveal the beautiful swirls.
    • Garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a handful of chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the mix.
  • Use a high-quality white chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips for a smoother texture.
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture.
