🛒 Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- Ingredients called for on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut flakes
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
👩🍳 Directions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Make Cake Batter: Prepare the cake batter by following the directions on the back of the white cake mix box. **Fold in chopped strawberries**. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble Cake: **Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture** evenly over the cake batter. **Do not stir.**
