INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS NOTES
- butter & eggs should be at room temperature. Remove them from the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before you start the recipe.
- sour cream - I used light sour cream in this recipe. You may also use full fat sour cream, plain yogurt or Greek Yogurt.

INSTRUCTIONS
This cake has three easy parts. The cake, the cream cheese filling and the topping.
I recommend using a stand mixer or electric mixer for this recipe.
Grease a 9-inch springform pan & preheat oven to 350°F.
Cake Layer
Start by beating the butter with sugar, then adding in the eggs. Beat the eggs in 1 at a time. The eggs are beaten for 45 seconds after each one is added. They provide structure to the cake. Add in the vanilla and stir on low speed just until combined.
In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixer, alternating with adding in the sour cream.
(Alternating means, add ⅓ flour mixture, ½ sour cream, ⅓ flour mixture, ½ sour cream, ⅓ flour mixture)
Spread the batter into a greased, 9-inch springform pan.
Sprinkle ½ cup of blueberries and ½ cup of raspberries over top of cake layer.
Cream Cheese Layer
In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until light and fluffy (about one minute). Next, add in the egg and lemon rind and beat for 30 seconds.
Spread cream cheese layer over the cake layer.
Topping
Mix the topping with clean hands or use a pastry blender.
Combine flour, granulated and brown sugars and cinnamon, then add in the melted butter.
Finishing up the cake
Add remaining blueberries and raspberries, followed by an even coating of the crumb topping. Sprinkle it on top loosely.
Bake in 350°F oven. for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Use a toothpick or cake tester and check it after one hour.
Move to a wire rack and let the cake cool for 15 minutes. Carefully, loosen the sides of the springform pan.
How to serve this cake
This cake is delicious served warm, or at room temperature. For a special treat add a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
STORAGE AND FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
Store cake in a covered container or covered in plastic wrap on a cake plate at room temperature for up to three days.
