- Grease a 19cm x 30cm lamington pan. Line base and sides with baking paper, extending paper 4cm above pan edges.

- To make cream cheese swirl, beat cream cheese and sugar in a small bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of mixture over chocolate layer in pan. Using a fork, swirl mixtures together to create a marbled effect.
