For the Cake:
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water)
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
For the Cream Cheese Swirl:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Prep the Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle coconut and nuts evenly on the bottom.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Make strawberry cake mix according to package directions. Fold in chopped strawberries, then pour batter over coconut and nuts.
- Add Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over cake batter (don’t spread—it will swirl on its own as it bakes).
- Bake: Bake 40–45 minutes until the cake is golden, cracked, and the filling stays gooey.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Try swapping strawberries for blueberries or raspberries.
- Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate once the cake has cooled.
- Keep leftovers in the fridge and reheat to enjoy warm.
