A delicious strawberry cheesecake cake featuring layers of moist cake, creamy cheesecake, and fresh strawberries, all topped with a luscious strawberry frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) white cake mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup strawberry puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, substituting milk for water. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter in one of the cake pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in pans on a wire rack.
  6. While cakes cool, prepare the strawberry frosting. In a large bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Beat in strawberry puree and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Once cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving platter. If using the cheesecake layer, place it on top. Spread a layer of strawberry frosting over the cake. Arrange sliced strawberries over the frosting.
  8. Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the entire cake with the remaining strawberry frosting.
  9. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries, if desired.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • For a more intense strawberry flavor, use freeze-dried strawberry powder in the frosting.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
