- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Filling and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 ounces/397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves or jam
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Chocolate and Decoration:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan with grease and flour coating.
- Craft the strawberry cake mixture according to the package guidelines, ensuring smooth and consistent texture.
- Distribute the cake batter uniformly across the prepared pan, creating an even surface.
- Blend sweetened condensed milk with shredded coconut and chopped pecans in a separate mixing vessel.
- Strategically dot the cake surface with dollops of strawberry preserves, then delicately swirl using a knife to create marbled patterns.
- Scatter a generous layer of semi-sweet and white chocolate chips across the entire cake surface.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until a inserted toothpick emerges clean and free of raw batter.
- Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 15 minutes, enabling initial cooling and structural stabilization.
- Carefully transfer the cake to a wire cooling rack, permitting complete temperature reduction.
- Once fully cooled, embellish the cake’s surface with vibrant, freshly sliced strawberries for visual appeal and added flavor dimension.

- Experiment with different preserves like raspberry or mixed berry for a unique twist on the original recipe.
