🧁 Ingredients
🍰 Cake Base
-
1 box strawberry cake mix
-
Ingredients listed on the box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
-
1½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
🧀 Cream Cheese Swirl
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cups powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
🍓 Add-Ins
-
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
-
1 cup white chocolate chips (or strawberry baking chips)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Make the Cake Batter
-
Prepare the strawberry cake mix according to package directions.
-
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
3️⃣ Assemble the Base
-
Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
-
Sprinkle coconut evenly over the batter.
-
Sprinkle white chocolate chips on top.
4️⃣ Make the Cream Cheese Mixture
-
In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
-
Mix until creamy and pourable.
5️⃣ Create the “Earthquake”
-
Spoon the cream cheese mixture randomly over the cake batter.
-
Do not swirl — the cracking and sinking happens naturally while baking.
6️⃣ Bake
-
Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly gooey.
-
The top will crack and ripple — that’s the signature earthquake look!
7️⃣ Cool & Serve
-
Let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve warm or chilled — both are amazing.
