Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • Ingredients listed on the box (usually eggs, oil, water)
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the strawberry cake mix according to the box instructions. Pour into the prepared dish.
  3. Sprinkle chopped strawberries, white chocolate, coconut, and nuts (if using) evenly over the batter.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cake and gently swirl with a knife.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality white chocolate.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Serve warm for a gooey texture or chilled for a firmer slice.
