Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped strawberries.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

- Spoon cheesecake filling over the cake batter, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
