Preparation

Step 1

To make the crumb topping combine sugar, flour and chilled cubed butter in a bowl. Stir with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly (pea sized crumbs) set in the fridge until ready.

Preheat oven 350°F. Grease 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.

FILLING: Mix together the cream cheese and sugar on medium-low speed until creamy. Add egg white and mix on low just to combine. Set aside.

CAKE BATTER: In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder and sale. Set aside

Cream the butter for a minute. Then add sugars and mix until light and fluffy. Add egg and egg yolk and vanilla, mix to combine. Slowly mix in the flour mixture alternating with sour cream.

Spread almost 2/3 of the batter on the bottom of the prepared pan. Smooth with a spatula. Spoon the cream cheese filling on top. Arrange the sliced strawberries onto the cream cheese filling ( do not go all the way to the edges) Save about 10 slices of strawberries for the next layer.

Using a spoon drizzle the remaining batter over the strawberries and spread as much as you can. You wont have enough batter to cover the whole layer completely, it is ok.

Scatter the remaining strawberry slices. then sprinkle the crumb topping and bake 60 to 70 minutes until the cake is no longer jiggly in the center.

Cool completely on a rack. COMPLETELY. Run a knife around the cake pan and loosen the spring form ring.

To make the glaze mix together cream( or milk) sugar and vanilla. Drizzle over the cake.
