Cook Time 40 minutes mins
- 2 x 250 g tubs cream cheese

- 2 extra large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup Vanilla Cake Mix
- 1 cup fresh cream
- 1 cup plain full cream yoghurt
Adjust the oven rack one slot below the middle position and preheat the oven to 200°C.
Beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add lemon and lime zest and mix well. Separate one egg. Add egg white to the mixture and beat well. Add yolk. Beat again. Repeat with second egg. Add Cake Mix and beat in on slow speed until just mixed.
In another bowl, beat cream to same consistency as the yoghurt. Fold yoghurt into the whipped cream. Fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Pour and scrape cake mixture into the paper lined tin.
