Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake is definitely one of my favorite cakes and it has a special place in my cookbook. There is a special place for a special cake.

You can prepare this treat for no reason, whatsoever, but it is also perfect for Easter or Mother‘s Day. This refreshing spring-summer cake with fresh strawberries and cream cheese is so easy to prepare.

Besides strawberries and cream cheese, you will need standard ingredients like eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla extract… I also added some Greek yogurt, for a special taste and some corn starch, because it makes structure finer.

This a cake that everybody likes. It is delicious and very easy to make. Strawberries are my favorite fruit. I like to eat them fresh, I like to drink strawberry juice or smoothie and let‘s not forget strawberry ice cream and, of course cakes.

I like simple cakes, that don‘t take too much time to prepare, light and easy to digest.
