Description

A delightful strawberry cake with creamy layers and an explosion of flavors, perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 15.25 oz strawberry cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 cup water (as per package instructions)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 8 oz white chocolate bar (two 4 oz bars)
  • 2 cups chopped strawberries (divided)
  • 8 oz whipped topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix with eggs, oil, and water according to package instructions. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, melt the butter. Blend with softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth, and gradually incorporate the powdered sugar.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the batter randomly. Sprinkle broken white chocolate pieces over the batter and add 1 cup of chopped strawberries.
  5. Gently swirl together without fully mixing.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool completely on a wire rack before spreading whipped topping over the cake.
  8. Garnish with chocolate curls and remaining chopped strawberries before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese and select quality strawberries. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
