Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, strawberry purée, and softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed for two minutes until smooth.
Distribute the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and slightly springy to the touch.
Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for at least 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Heat the heavy cream until simmering, then pour over the chopped white chocolate and a portion of cream cheese; stir until smooth, let cool, and fold into the whipped topping.
Frost between the cooled layers and over the entire exterior of the cake, then garnish with fresh strawberry slices for a finished look.

Notes

For a perfectly smooth batter without lumps, ensure your cream cheese is fully at room temperature before mixing. If you want to customize the flavor, try using a dark chocolate cake mix for the base to create a rich chocolate-strawberry contrast that pairs beautifully with the white chocolate frosting.
