Ingredients

Scale

1 box of chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake)

1 cup of water

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

3 large eggs

8 oz cream cheese

softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries

hulled and chopped

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Additional strawberries for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well blended.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan.
In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the chopped strawberries.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter in the pan. Top with the remaining cake batter, carefully spreading it over the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped nuts on top. Let it cool before serving.
Serve slices garnished with additional strawberries.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing. You can substitute any fresh fruit for a different flavor twist.
