Strawberry Earthquake Cake Recipe

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

Directions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Cake: Assemble the cake mix according to the package instructions. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently to distribute them evenly. Pour the batter into your greased dish, setting the stage for a fluffy base.
3. Create the Filling: In a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. This mixture will create the luxurious cream cheese pockets in the cake.
4. Add Toppings: Dot the cake surface with spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture, then sprinkle with coconut flakes and white chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The cake should be set and the edges should turn a lovely golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve and enjoy the spectacular ‘earthquake’ effect on top!
