Ingredients
Cake Base:
1 box strawberry cake mix
Ingredients listed on the box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
Add-ins:
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)
Cream Cheese Swirl:
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened)
2½ cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare Pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Layer the Bottom:
Sprinkle coconut, chopped strawberries, and nuts evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. Prepare Cake Batter:
Make the strawberry cake mix according to the box directions.
Pour over the coconut and strawberries in the pan.
4. Make Cream Cheese Swirl:
Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy.
5. Add the Swirl & Chips:
Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the top of the cake batter in spoonfuls.
Use a knife to gently swirl it in.
Sprinkle white chocolate chips over the top.
6. Bake:
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is mostly set (it’s okay if it’s gooey — that’s part of the charm!).
Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
