Berry Berry Cake

This is the first (and second) birthday cake that I made for Isaac.

1/3 C cream cheese
3/4 C sugar
2 egg whites
1 C. + flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp lemon grind
1/3 C sour cream
3 C mixed berries: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, lemons, etc.
1 1/2 C whipped cream (mix whipping cream, vanilla extract and sugar)

-Preheat oven to 350. Beat cream cheese and 1/2 C sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add egg whites and lemon peel; mix well. Mix 1 C of the flour and the baking soda. Add to cream cheese mixture, alternately with the sour cream, beating well after each addition ( do not overmix).
-Spray 9 in. pan with cooking spray. Spread cream cheese mixture onto bottom and 1 in. up side of pan. Toss 2 C of the berries with remaining 1/4 C sugar and remaining 2 tsp flour. Spoon over cream cheese mixture in pan to within 1/2 in of edge.
-Bake 40-45 min or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 min before removing rim of pan. Top with the remaining berries. Top each serving with 2 Tbsp of whipped cream.

*Use whatever fresh berries are available.
