Creamy Strawberry Bundt (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake

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

→ Cheesecake Layer

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

→ Strawberry Layer

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

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get a 10-inch Bundt pan ready. Grease and flour it thoroughly so your cake pops out easily.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese until smooth. Throw in powdered sugar, vanilla, and the egg, then mix till creamy. Leave it aside for now.
03 - Mix the dry stuff—flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—in a medium bowl. In another larger bowl, cream together butter and sugar until they’re nice and fluffy. Toss eggs in one at a time, stir in the vanilla, then slowly alternate dry ingredients with sour cream until it all blends nicely.
04 - Pour about half the batter into your prepared pan. Evenly spread the cheesecake mix on top, then cover it up with the rest of the batter.
05 - Bake for about 50-60 minutes. Stick a toothpick in the center—when it comes out clean, it’s done. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then move it to a rack to cool completely.
06 - In a small bowl, toss together the sliced strawberries and sugar if you’re using it. Let it sit for a bit so the juices start to seep out.
07 - Once the cake’s cool, pour the strawberries and all those yummy juices over the top. Slice it up and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Grease and flour the pan well, or the cake might stick.
02 - Fresh strawberries are your best bet, but frozen will work too.
03 - Don’t overdo it when mixing the batter. Just stir enough to combine.
