Easy Strawberry Earthquake Cake Recipe: The Ultimate Gooey Dessert

Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Earthquake Cake

This irresistible Strawberry Earthquake Cake combines the convenience of boxed cake mix with fresh strawberries and a decadent cream cheese swirl for a dessert that’s both simple to make and impressive to serve. Perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or whenever your sweet tooth strikes!

The cake gets its name from the unique “earthquake” effect that happens during baking – as the dense cream cheese mixture sinks and the cake rises, it creates beautiful cracks and swirls throughout. Every bite delivers the perfect balance of moist strawberry cake, creamy cheesecake filling, and bursts of fresh berry flavor.
