Notes

Strawberry Earthquake Cake: A Dessert That Will Shake Up Your Kitchen
Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest swirl.
Don’t over-swish—fewer swirls = more dramatic earthquake cracks.
Tent with foil if baking too quickly, so the cream cheese doesn’t over-brown.
Frozen strawberries work fine—just thaw and drain excess liquid before adding.
