Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a bundt cake baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, whip the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until well-blended and smooth.
Slowly add the pound of finely chopped strawberries to the cake mixture.
Pour cake batter evenly into a cake pan of your choice (even make cupcakes) and bake according to box instructions, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the butter 2 Tablespoons at a time, and continue beating until smooth and blended.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla at once and blend until combined and smooth.

Place the cake on a platter or plate of your choice.
Cut the tip of the cream cheese piping bag (or fill a Ziploc bag and cut a very small corner to squeeze out frosting).
Drizzle it over the cake and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.

Once your cake is baked and cooled for about 10 minutes, use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over.
In a large bowl, mix the pudding mix with 4 cups of milk until it reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency.
Transfer the pudding to a piping bag, cut off the tip, and pipe it into the holes you’ve created.
Cover the cake with foil and let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
