1/2 cup Vegetable Oil Can substitute with unsweetened applesauce for a slightly healthier option.

For the Frosting

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, large eggs, water, and vegetable oil until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and melted butter until creamy, then gradually add the sugar, vanilla, and salt until fluffy.
Gently fold in diced strawberries and white chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Allow the cake to cool for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the cooled cake and garnish with additional strawberries.
