Steps:
- For the cream cheese swirl: Mix together the cream cheese, sugar and egg white in a small bowl until smooth.
- For the berries and cream: Gently toss the mixed berries with the sugar, lemon juice and orange zest in a large bowl. Let stand, gently stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is juicy (some of the raspberries will break down), about 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until the flour is just incorporated.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth with an offset spatula. Add big dollops of the cream cheese mixture all over the surface and use a small spoon to swirl it in slightly, then smooth the top again.
- Bake the cake until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool the cake in the baking dish for 10 minutes, then remove and cool it completely, cream cheese-side-up.
- Cut the cake into squares and serve topped with the berries. Add a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with the mint.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe berries. This will ensure that your shortcake is bursting with flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay, and overmixing will make your shortcake tough.
- Don't overcook the shortcake. It should be golden brown and cooked through, but not dry.
- Serve the shortcake warm or at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld and the berries to release their juices.
- Top the shortcake with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt. This will add a creamy richness and help to offset the tartness of the berries.
