  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

1 box white cake mix

Ingredients required by cake mix (usually water, oil, and eggs)

1 cup strawberries, chopped

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

4 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Gently fold in chopped strawberries and pour into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter.
  5. Sprinkle coconut flakes and white chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.

  7. Allow the cake to cool, revealing the cracked “earthquake” effect on top before serving.

Notes

  • For variations, try different berries like raspberries or blueberries.
  • Consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch.
  • To reduce sweetness, adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the cream cheese mixture.
