Strawberry Cheesecake Bundt Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
04 - ½ teaspoon salt
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
07 - 1 cup granulated sugar
08 - 3 large eggs
09 - 1 cup sour cream
10 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

→ Cheesecake Filling

11 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
12 - ½ cup powdered sugar
13 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 - 1 egg

→ Strawberry Topping

15 - ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
16 - 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
02 - In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until well combined and set aside.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with sour cream, and mix until smooth.
04 - Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the batter and spread it evenly. Add the remaining cake batter on top, ensuring the cheesecake filling is fully covered.
05 - Place the Bundt pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
06 - In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar (if desired). Let them sit for a few minutes to macerate and release their juices.
07 - Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the strawberries and their juices over the top. Slice and serve.

# Notes:

01 - Allow the cake to cool completely before serving to ensure the cheesecake filling properly sets.
02 - Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor but frozen strawberries can be substituted in the cake batter.
03 - For added flair, consider adding a simple powdered sugar glaze or whipped cream for garnish.
