Cheese-Swirl Chocolate Cake

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (18-1/4 ounces) devil's food cake mix
1-1/4 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed

In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 egg, sugar and vanilla; mix well.
Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, water, oil and remaining
eggs. Beat on low speed until moistened; beat on high for 2 minutes. Pour half of
the batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Drop half of the cream
cheese mixture by tablespoonfuls over the batter. Repeat layers. Cut through
batter with a knife to swirl the cream cheese mixture. Bake at 350&Deg; for 35-40
minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (cake may
crack). Cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, process strawberries in a blender or
food processor until smooth. Serve over cake.

Yield: 12 servings.
