Notes

You can create any flavor that you like for an Earthquake Cake, see some of my ideas above.
If you don’t want to swirl your cheesecake mixture through the cake you can choose not to do so, you can leave it in small piles on top and it will sink into the cake.
The addition of white chocolate chips and fresh strawberries is optional but highly encouraged.
This cake will look like a hot mess when it comes out of the oven, hence the name Earthquake Cake, this is normal.
Serve with your favorite toppings, whipped cream or ice cream is ours.
