Cream Cheese-Swirled Cherry and Mixed Berries Cake
"A mix of cherries and berries are baked into this soft, tender, and very moist cake. Cream cheese is swirled into the batter, adding tanginess and extra creaminess to the springy and lightly sweetened cake. No mixer is needed for this easy cake batter, which is as simple as making muffins. A mix of fresh or frozen fruit can be used, perfect for using up what's seasonal or what you have on hand...."
