CREAM CHEESE FROSTING INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp heavy Whipping Cream
  • 3 cups strawberry Shortcake Crumb Toppings

Instructions
 

VANILLA CHEESECAKE DIRECTION

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray an 8in springform pan with cooking oil.
  • Using a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft with a hand mixer.
  • Beat in the sugar and flour until combined.
  • Add each egg and beat, until combined, then beat in the vanilla extract and set aside.

CAKE DIRECTIONS

  • Using another large bowl, beat together the cake mix, water, oil and eggs with a mixer.
  • Divide the strawberry batter in half and spread the bottom layer evenly.
  • Using a large spoon, drop dollops of the cheesecake mixture on top of the strawberry cake layer.
  • Scoop more strawberry cake batter on top and try to spread evenly.
  • Drop more dollops of cheesecake batter on top and place the springform pan into a 12 in deep baking dish.
  • Fill baking dish with hot water about half way up the springform sides.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes.
  • Remove the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cake onto a wire rack to cool down until completely cooled. Once cooled, place into the refrigerator overnight.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING DIRECTIONS

  • Using a medium mixing bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with a mixer.
  • Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until combined and smooth, then beat in the vanilla and heavy whipping cream.
  • Add in the milk and extract to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the springform pan.
  • Frost entire cake in a very thin layer with the cream cheese frosting.
  • Once you have a thin coat of frosting on the cake, coat entire cheesecake cake using the strawberry shortcake crumble toppings.

Notes

Note: If you can’t find a strawberry cake mix box, you can make an easy strawberry cake. Replace the strawberry cake mix with a white cake mix, and also add 1 cup of strawberry purée. To make the purée, simply place some strawberries in a food processor or blender. Puree the berries until smooth, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Then, add 1 cup of the strawberry purée to the cake mix.
