HEALTHY CREAM CHEESE SWIRL CAKE

I dare to say this is the healthiest cake you’ll ever have, that taste and texture are of bakery standard! Big statement perhaps, but this cake is on my regular rotation for years and I can’t ever get over how good it is, given the nutritional value of the ingredients in it.

This is my foundational recipe for healthy cake, and I’ve posted it before but this version has a cream cheese swirl that is a fun new addition and really makes it feel like a treat!
