Banana Cream Cheese Cake with Blueberry

This cake is very soft and moist. It doesnt taste like it has cheese in it...but if you are healthy conscious and dont like cream cheese, you can substitute it with natural yoghurt or sour cream or even buttermilk, but do add 1-2 tsp cornflour to add the 'heaviness' of the cream cheese. Just try and see what happen. I love playing around with the recipes and usually, you will be surprised how nice the cake turn out to be, or errr...the other way around. But, that's how we learn, isnt it..?
