A deliciously simple dessert combining chocolate cake mix, fresh strawberries, and cream cheese, topped with crunchy nuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Add the chocolate cake mix, water, and eggs to a large bowl, whisking until smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  5. Arrange sliced strawberries on top in a single layer.
  6. Beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and dollop it over the strawberries.
  7. Spoon the remaining batter over the top, then sprinkle with walnuts or pecans.
  8. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

For nut-free servings, replace nuts with toasted coconut or omit completely. If strawberries are very juicy, pat them dry or toss with flour to reduce weeping.
