1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Before you put aside a 9×13 inch baking pan, oil it.
2. After getting the baking pan ready, follow the package directions to create the strawberry cake mix. Pour the mixture into the pan.
Blend the melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese in a separate bowl until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Fourth, dollop the cake batter with the cream cheese mixture. Don’t worry about getting everything quite right; after all, we’re making an edible earthquake!
5. If adding nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, or chopped strawberries, distribute them evenly over the top. Welcome the unpredictability; it adds a festive touch!
6. Proceed to bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean (it may pass through a patch of creaminess, so be sure to test a few locations). Meanwhile, brown the borders.
7. After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely before cutting. This waiting time is worth it, even if it might be misery!

For a fast fix when time is of the essence, you may either prepare the cream cheese mixture in advance or include strawberry preserves into the batter.
The key to a delicious Earthquake Cake, like the finest parts of life, is to embrace the beautiful chaos that results from experimenting with different ingredients and techniques. Hope you like baking!
