Updated on Jan 22, 2013

This is like a strawberry cheesecake and a cake all in one. I received this recipe at from a dear friend, and have been enjoying it ever since. Moist from the sour cream. It's just a great cake. You can mix it all in the food processor or one bowl with a mixer. This cake goes wonderful with a cup of tea or coffee..not a real sweet cake, but get a burst of sweet cream cheese/ strawberry with every mouthful..so good.. Always tested and approved by friends and family.. My pictures.
