Delicious Berry Swirl Cheesecake Cake

This cheesecake cake features a moist vanilla cake layered with a creamy cheesecake filling and a swirl of mixed berries. The preparation time is about 30 minutes, with a total baking time of 1 hour, serving approximately 10 people.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Make the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the Berry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Layer the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cheesecake filling over the batter, then drizzle half of the berry mixture on top. Pour the remaining cake batter over the cheesecake layer and swirl in the remaining berry mixture with a knife.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve: Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of cheesecake and berry flavors!
