Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cake

by

This Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cake is a showstopper dessert, combining the creamy richness of cheesecake with the light, fluffy texture of strawberry cake. The sweet strawberry crunch topping adds a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavor that makes each bite irresistible.

  1. Ingredients:
    For the cheesecake layer:
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

For the cake layer:

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

For the strawberry crunch topping:

  • 1 box strawberry Jell-O mix
  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Prepare the strawberry cake mix according to package instructions, using the eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before removing.
  3. For the cheesecake layer, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue beating until thick and creamy. Set aside.
  4. For the strawberry crunch topping, mix the crushed graham crackers, strawberry Jell-O mix, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. The mixture should be crumbly.
  5. Once the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of cheesecake filling over the cake, smoothing it evenly. Top with the second cake layer.
  6. Spread the remaining cheesecake filling over the top of the second cake layer, and then press the strawberry crunch topping evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  7. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow it to set before slicing and serving.
