Yes, in some cake recipes and in some cake mixes, cream cheese is a delicious substitution for butter. But cream cheese would not be appropriate in every cake recipe, so it is best to find a recipe that already calls for cream cheese. You can find these recipes on the websites of cream cheese companies.

The same idea can be turned into a parfait dessert if individual desserts are desired.
