Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 30 seconds more, or until smooth. Spoon cream cheese over batter, leaving a 1 inch border of batter around the sides of the pan, and smooth with spatula. Bake for 43-48 minutes, or until the cream cheese mixture has turned golden brown and the cake springs back when touched lightly. Remove from oven and set cool for 20 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto serving platter. Let rest for 20 minutes more, then slice and serve.
