Here’s a recipe for a delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Bundt Cake—moist, creamy, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the cheesecake filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the strawberry cake
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix (or homemade strawberry cake batter)
- Ingredients called for on cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
- Optional: ½ cup chopped fresh strawberries
For the glaze (optional)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tsp milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven & prep pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a bundt pan.
2. Make the cheesecake filling
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Set aside.
3. Prepare the cake batter
- Mix strawberry cake mix according to box instructions.
- Fold in chopped strawberries if using.
4. Assemble the bundt cake
- Pour half the cake batter into the bundt pan.
- Spoon cheesecake filling over the batter evenly.
- Pour remaining cake batter on top and smooth out.
5. Bake
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs from cheesecake are fine).
- Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.
6. Optional glaze
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make a smooth glaze.
- Drizzle over cooled cake before serving.
Tips
- Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth filling.
- Don’t overmix cheesecake filling into batter—you want it to stay as a layer.
- Add a few fresh strawberries on top for a decorative finish.
If you want, I can also give a fully homemade strawberry bundt cake recipe without using a cake mix, for a more natural flavor.
