This Raspberry Swirl Cream Cheese Cake is creamy delicious, not difficult to make, just a lot of mixing of luscious ingredients like butter, cream cheese, sugar, eggs and raspberry syrup and last but not least fresh raspberries.
Spray a cake pan (9x5x3 inches) with baking spray, line it with parchment paper and spray it again.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add sugar and vanilla extract and beat until white and fluffy, approx. 4 minutes.
Add eggs, one by one. Add one after the previous one is well incorporated.
Mix flour, salt and baking powder in a second bowl and mix.
Add flour and cream to the butter mixture. Alternate flour and cream and beat until well combined.
Spoon 1/3 of batter into cake form, then spread half of the raspberry syrup over the batter and add half of the fresh raspberries. Push them just a little into the batter.
Cover with 1/3 of the batter and repeat layer of raspberry syrup and fresh raspberries.
Last layer is 1/3 of batter. With a long wooden skewer, swirl the batter and try not to push the raspberries down.
Place cake in oven and bake approx. 1 hours and 30 minutes or when toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Remove from pan and cool completely.
