Strawberry Earthquake Cake

Mandy I My Reliable Recipes
Strawberry Earthquake Cake is everything I love in a dessert—gooey, sweet, and full of texture. With swirls of creamy cheesecake, juicy strawberries, and melty white chocolate tucked into a warm strawberry cake, it’s the kind of bake that disappears fast. I made it on a weekend and the smell alone had everyone hovering in the kitchen. If you’re heading to a summer gathering or just need something indulgent and fruity, this cake’s a winner!
