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 ♥
Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese 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 🙂

Dear Dragana, I plan to make your cake for my Memorial Day get together. However, I do not own a 9 inch spring form pan. What size bundt pan or cake pan could I use instead? Thanks!
Hi Yvonne,
Thanks for stopping by!
You can try with 10 inch round cake pan, but you must pay attenttion on cooking time. It should be shorther.

This looks sooo good! I wonder if you can use blackberries or other berries instead of strawberries?
Hi May,
I’m happy to hear that 🙂 Yes, you can use other fresh berries instead.
