Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cream filling)
  • 1 large egg (for cream filling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream filling)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan or deep cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Spread half the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture over batter layer, then top with half of the diced strawberries.
  6. Spread remaining batter over the cream layer and top with remaining strawberries.
  7. In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle streusel evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing sides if using a springform pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for best texture — frozen berries may release too much liquid.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
