Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup strawberry purée (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp strawberry purée
- 1–2 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)
- Graham cracker crumbs (for extra crunch!)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cake Batter
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and strawberry purée.
- Gradually alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in chopped fresh strawberries.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the batter.
- Pour the remaining cake batter on top, ensuring the cheesecake layer is fully covered.
Step 4: Bake & Cool
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: Make the Strawberry Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry purée, and milk until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
Notes
- Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more milk for a thinner consistency or more powdered sugar for a thicker drizzle.
- If using a dark-colored Bundt pan, reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) to prevent over-browning.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing for the best results.
