Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Strawberry Cake Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, mashed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Finishing

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting or optional glaze
  • Optional glaze: powdered sugar mixed with strawberry juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Bundt Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust it with flour or powdered sugar. Measure all ingredients accurately for smooth baking.
  2. Create the Cheesecake Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with half the sugar until smooth and creamy. Add one egg and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing just until combined. Set aside.
  3. Make the Strawberry Cake Batter: In a separate bowl, cream butter with the remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Mix in mashed fresh strawberries, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Fold in sifted flour and baking powder gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  4. Assemble the Bundt Cake: Pour half of the strawberry batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the batter, spreading it evenly but carefully to avoid mixing layers. Top with the remaining cake batter and smooth gently.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the cake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the cheesecake layer) comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  6. Add Final Touches: Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle lightly with a glaze made from powdered sugar and strawberry juice for added shine and sweetness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter, cream cheese, and eggs for smooth mixing and better texture.
  • Fresh, ripe strawberries provide the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the cake tender and light.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick near the edges to avoid the soft cheesecake center.
  • Allow cake to cool completely before glazing or slicing to maintain clean layers.
