Strawberry Cream Cheese Butter Cake

Yesterday evening, when I was typing the previous entry Wakaf Al-Quran, I was about to click on the PUBLISH button when my doorbell rang. It was Tini, my dear neighbour, Saerah's helper. She came to give me these...

...thank you Tini for being the delivery girl and thanks to Saerah for remembering me...

All I could utter when I looked at the container was MASYAALLAH. ALLAH is just great. I had not yet done the good deed (promoting the Wakaf Al-Quran's blog), but HE had rewarded me! Thank you ALLAH.

I visited Jun's Blog yesterday afternoon and saw her Blueberry Cream Cheese Butter Cake. Looks yummy to my eyes. I have all the ingredients except the blueberries. Asked the kids to accompany me to Giant to get some, but no one is willing to accompany mama and that made mama just too lazy to go as well. But since I just feel like trying out the recipe, I just used up whatever's available at home. Wallah, I found some frozen strawberries in my freezer. Pity pity strawberries..all frozed up! Let me just warm you up! Hahaha... So yes, I've transformed the recipe into something else. Thank you to Cook Republic for the idea and Jun for leading me to the site. Thousand apologies for the transformation though... :D

My only mistake when baking this recipe is I had used the wrong sized tin hence the not so nice looking cake. Since I've made just half the recipe, I think the best tin to use is the loaf pan. The recipe posted is the full version.
