Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (Gluten-free flour can be used as an alternative.)
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar (Coconut sugar can be considered for a healthier option.)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (Check for freshness.)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (Kosher salt recommended.)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (Margarine can be a dairy-free substitute.)
- 3 units eggs (Flax eggs for a vegan version.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Homemade vanilla can enhance flavor.)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (Use thawed and well-drained if frozen.)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (Low-fat can be substituted.)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (Sugar alternatives can be used.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Beat in the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk into the dry mixture until well blended.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries into the batter, ensuring a good distribution.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then spread the cream cheese mixture over it before adding the remaining batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for around 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
