Instructions
 

  • Prepare filling by beating together the cream cheese and egg. Add the sugar and white chocolate, mixing until smooth, then stir in the the strawberries.
  • Follow directions in the White Cake recipe, then spoon batter into lined muffins tins 2/3 full.
  • Spoon about 1 Tbsp of filling into center of each muffins batter, gently pressing it down in a bit.
