I changed the recipe slightly following one of the comments given in the All Recipes website. I use 2 blocks of cream cheese instead of 4 and I used 1 jar of strawberry Jam. The cake was still rich in flavour and I like it that way. Not too cheesy. I also use strawberry flavour oats instead of the normal one since I put strawberry jam as the spread in the cake. All and all it's really good. Oh ya, always run some warm water over the knife before and while cutting and they will cut cleaner.
