Raspberry Swirl Whipping Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Raspberries have been on sale at the local supermarkets. I've always found these lovely berries so pretty and uplifting to look at! It was no wonder that I did not hesitate to buy a punnet of raspberries to include in my bakes for my gathering with friends during Singapore's Jubilee weekend.

Like the previous Nutella Swirl Whipping Cream Pound Cake and Whipping Cream Matcha Pound Cake I've made, I'm adding whipping cream to the pound cake as it really gives so much moistness to the cake. I've also added some cream cheese that's left from my previous bake so that there is no wastage! Lol! 

In fact, this is the first time I'm adding cream cheese to pound cake, and I must say it's really yummy and the kids all enjoyed it! 

The raspberry really bring the cake to a higher level with its bright and cheerful red swirls.

I'm loving it!!
