Directions
- 1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- 2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Fold in the chopped strawberries if using. Set aside.
- 3. Make the Strawberry Cake:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
- Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the batter, making sure not to touch the sides of the pan.
- Pour the remaining strawberry cake batter on top, covering the cheesecake filling completely.
- 4. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not touching the cheesecake filling) comes out clean.
- 5. Cool:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 6. Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add pink food coloring if desired to achieve a pink glaze.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk until you reach your desired thickness.
- 7. Glaze the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the bundt cake. Allow it to set for a few minutes.
