Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters. Set aside in a bowl to drain excess moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, eggs, and milk. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9x13-inch pan, layer with half of the strawberries, then dollops of cream cheese mixture. Top with remaining batter.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
