A delightful summer dessert that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with sweet, juicy strawberries, all baked together in one easy-to-make cake.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 box of yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, milk, and eggs. Beat the ingredients together until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar and allow them to sit for about 10 minutes.
Layer the strawberries over the cheesecake mixture in the baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges of the cake are golden brown.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
