Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 ounces)
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 2 cups white chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, ensuring even distribution. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare Frosting: In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until creamy.
- Fold in diced strawberries and white chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake, allowing strawberries and chocolate chips to peek through.
