Ingredients

Sugar– The dry ingredients work together well to form the cream cheese mixture.
Heavy cream- Helps to make the cheesecake layer of the cake. This can be made easily. Just grab up a large bowl and get to mixing. Try keeping things on a low speed.
Vanilla Extract- Brings out the flavor in the layers of strawberry cake. This with the melted butter will have you wanting more.
Eggs- I used the egg to help to form the cake layers. I used boxed cake but you can make it from scratch if that’s your desire.
Powdered sugar- This helps to form the buttercream frosting. I will have a list of detailed instructions down below.
