Prep Time 40 minutes mins
Total Time 6 hours hrs 40 minutes mins
8 inch springform pan
Electric Mixer
- 1 vanilla cake mix Plus Ingredients on box for cake mix
- 2 8 oz blocks of cream cheese Softened
- 3/4 cup powered sugar
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 3 cups strawberries 2 cups sliced and 1 cup left whole
Grease an 8" springform pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for vanilla cake. Pour ½ cup in pan, or enough to coat the bottom of your pan. (Save the rest of the batter for a separate cake or cupcakes!)
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out dry.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add sugar to combine, then gradually add the cream and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. (Must be high speed)
Press the slices of strawberry along the edge of the springform pan, so that the bottoms of the strawberries touch the cake. Place your whole strawberries on the surface of the cake leaving about a ½” between each. Cover with the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours.
Garnish with more chopped strawberries. Serve.
