- For the Strawberry Shortcake Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions:
For the Crumble Topping:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms large clumps.
3. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely before breaking into small pieces.
For the Cheesecake:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
4. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
For the Strawberry Shortcake Layer:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool completely.
Assembling the Cake:
1. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter.
2. Spread the cooled strawberry mixture on top of the cheesecake.
3. Cut the strawberry shortcake into small cubes and scatter them on top of the strawberry layer.
4. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the strawberry cubes, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
