Cake Ingredients

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  2. 2

    Add the Cream Cheese

    In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold the cream cheese into the cake batter until evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Prepare Strawberry Sauce

    While the cake cools, prepare the strawberry sauce by blending fresh strawberries with a little sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the cooled butter cake and plate it. Drizzle with the fresh strawberry sauce, and serve with fresh strawberries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a dollop of whipped cream.
