I've baked this cake twice. Both times it came out delicious. The cream cheese adds a great flavor. Pouring the vanilla batter in first and then pouring the chocolate on top makes it nearly impossible to swirl however. I would recommend spooning in alternating dollops of the vanilla and chocolate, then swirling the batters together.
