For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat cream cheese and ensure it is completely softened before beating. To prevent cracking, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. This creates a humid environment. If you don't have lemon zest, a teaspoon of lemon extract provides a similar flavor profile. Variations: Consider adding a swirl of raspberry jam or melted chocolate to the batter before baking.
