Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix with the eggs, oil, and water the box calls for.
  3. Pour the cake batter into the baking dish.
  4. Melt the butter. Using an electric mixer, combine the melted butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl, then mix in the powdered sugar.
  5. Drop the cream cheese mixture by the spoonful onto the cake batter in the pan.
  6. Break up one white chocolate bar and sprinkle it on top of the cake batter.
  7. Add 1 cup of the chopped strawberries to the cake batter.
  8. Use a knife to swirl everything together carefully.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool completely, then spread the whipped topping on the cake.
  11. Use a vegetable peeler to shave curls from the remaining white chocolate bar.
  12. Sprinkle the white chocolate curls and the remaining 1 cup of chopped strawberries all over the top of the cake.

Notes

  • You can substitute white chocolate chips for the chocolate bar, although it won't have the same earthquake effect.
  • If your cake starts to brown too quickly on top before it's done baking in the middle, tent it with some aluminum foil.
  • Let the cake cool completely before adding whipped topping and strawberry garnish. The whipped cream will melt and slide off if the cake is still warm. 
  • For a fun twist, try using different cake mix flavors and mix-ins. Lemon cake with blueberries and white chocolate would be delicious, or chocolate cake with raspberries and milk chocolate chunks.
