– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

3. Next, prepare your cake batter by mixing all the cake ingredients together as directed in the ingredients section.
4. Create the cheesecake swirl by beating the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Begin assembling the cake by pouring half the cake mix into the pan, adding half of the cheesecake mixture and blueberry sauce, and gently swirling with a knife. Repeat with remaining batter, cheesecake, and blueberry sauce.
6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.

Variations
Change up the fruits to suit the season, such as using strawberries, raspberries, or peaches instead of blueberries.
