How to bake a deliciously creamy Philadelphia cake

Creamy, well chilled and with a fruity strawberry sauce: this is how a delicious Philadelphia cake is made.

The

Philadelphia cake

is a classic that is very similar to the New York cheesecake because, according to most recipes, it is not baked, but only chilled in the refrigerator.

If you can't get sour cream, you can replace it with crème fraîche.

To top it all, there's a delicious, quickly homemade
