Notes
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Cooling the cake completely is crucial for the filling to set properly. If the topping browns too quickly, tent the cake with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider adding a swirl of strawberry jam or topping with fresh strawberries for an extra touch.
