Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour into Pan

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Prepare Cream Cheese Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully combined.

Add Egg and Vanilla

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.

Spread Filling

Pour the cream cheese filling over the base batter in the baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Bake the Mixture

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Cool

Allow the baked dessert to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare Strawberries

While the dessert is cooling, wash and slice the fresh strawberries.

Assemble Topping

In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and mint leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and toss gently to combine.

Serve

Once the dessert is completely cool, top with the strawberry mixture just before serving.
