Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake

You can prepare this treat for no reason, whatsoever, but it is also perfect for Easter or Mother‘s Day. This refreshing spring-summer cake with fresh strawberries and cream cheese is so easy to prepare.

Besides strawberries and cream cheese, you will need standard ingredients like eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla extract… I also added some Greek yogurt, for a special taste and some corn starch, because it makes structure finer.

This a cake that everybody likes. It is delicious and very easy to make. Strawberries are my favorite fruit. I like to eat them fresh, I like to drink strawberry juice or smoothie and let‘s not forget strawberry ice cream and, of course cakes.

I like simple cakes, that don‘t take too much time to prepare, light and easy to digest. I first tried Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese cake at my friend‘s and loved it immediately.

Made this cake today with gluten free flour. If using gluten free, it helps to really mix the batter without the strawberries and let it sit for about 10 minutes or so, because gf flour seems to take a little longer to absorb moisture. Also, read that several were having really long bake times and so I folded in the berries by hand rather than mixing them in well (which might break them up a bit and release their juices). Did not want to add in all the juice from the berries and change the consistency of the batter at the last minute after it sat and was so fluffy and light. Cake came out perfectly and tastes fantastic!

I subbstituted coconut oil for the butter and coconut yogurt for the greek yogurt, and used non dairy cream cheese to make this dairy free. Still delicious!

Can you double the cake recipe as I only have a 10" cheesecake pan? I would leave the same amount of strawberries or double that also? I don't want the cake to look thin.

I didn't make on that way, but you can try. The baking time must be longer or when inserted toothpick in the middle of the cake comes out dry and clean. You can increase ingredients by 20 percent.

Best, Dragana
