Cheesecake Bundt Strawberry (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake

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

→ Cheesecake Filling

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

→ Strawberry Topping

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

# Instructions:

01 - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use butter and flour to coat the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan so the cake doesn’t stick.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese until creamy. Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg until well blended. Set this aside.
03 - In one bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In another, mix softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Slowly add the dry mix, alternating with sour cream, until everything is smooth.
04 - Pour half the cake batter into the greased pan. Spread the cheesecake filling over this evenly, then add the rest of the batter on top to cover it.
05 - Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until you can poke a toothpick in and it comes out clean. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
06 - Toss the sliced strawberries with some sugar, if you’d like, and let them sit for a few minutes to get juicy and sweeter.
07 - Once the cake is completely cool, spoon the berries and their juices over it. Cut into slices before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Bundt pans need to be coated with butter and flour to stop the cake from sticking.
02 - Fresh strawberries give the best taste, but frozen ones can work if that’s all you have.
03 - Overmixing the batter can make the cake dense, so mix until it just comes together.
