Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake

First there is a lovely buttery cake base. With generous amounts of sour cream, this cake layer is light and moist and oh-so delicate.

Next we have a thick layer of silky cream cheese followed by a sweet jammy topping made with fresh strawberries. Cream cheese and strawberries are a match made in heaven. Add cake into that equation and it’s all good – very, very good.

Top these layers of cake, cream cheese and strawberry with a delicious crumb topping and this is a coffee cake you’ll remember.

For such a wonderful looking and tasting treat, this is a very easy cake to pull together. You can also substitute whatever berries you like – no strawberries, how about blueberries or raspberries? No fresh berries – use frozen. Or if you don’t have any berries, use a good quality berry jam spread thickly for delicious results.
