Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Beat until smooth.
In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake batter and spread gently.
Add chopped strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour to make the streusel topping. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cake and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the coffee cake cool before serving.
