The only thing better than a sprinkle cheesecake is a triple layer sprinkle cheesecake with 2 strawberry cake layers! This cake is not only fun and pretty to look at but was so incredibly delish! Definitely a crowd pleaser!

You have the ingredients for the cake layers and frosting but not the cheese cake layer. You tell haw to make the cheese cake layer but no amounts are listed. Very confusing

I want to make this cake for my daughter’s birthday. She is currently getting chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. Her young children said she needs a pink cake with sprinkles. How do you make the strawberry purée? Strawberries are out of season where I live so am wondering if frozen strawberries would work? I look forward to your reply.

I hope your daughter is doing WELL!!!! I would use frozen strawberries and blend them in a processor.
