Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) strawberry cake mix
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- For the cream cheese layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, oil, whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until a thick dough forms.
- Stir in white chocolate chips. Use hands if necessary as the dough is thick.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg white, and vanilla until smooth.
- Press half of the strawberry dough into the bottom of the pan.
- Spread or dollop the cream cheese mixture over the base layer.
- Add remaining dough in spoonfuls over the cream cheese layer. Swirl or leave marbled.
- Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out mostly clean.
- Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- Omit white chocolate chips for a less sweet version.
- Swap cake mix flavor (e.g., lemon or red velvet) for variation.
- Add citrus zest to cream cheese for extra flavor.
- Use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of white.
- Double the cream cheese mixture for a layered bar effect.
