I am going to make Toba Garretts yellow cake recipe. What would happen if I added a brick of cream cheese with the butter?

I would recommend doing a small test cake first. You may upset the balance, lol.

It sounds like you are looking for a dense, dense, moist yellow cake. I would suggest trying Sarah Phillip's found here (and make sure you follow her cake testing for donesness method, a few crumbs on the toothpick, but no batter);

Take a look at this site; it might be helpful:

I experimented with a scratch recipe for a white cake; I creamed the cream cheese with the butter and sugar. It was a bit dry, which surprised me since there's about 23% fat in cream cheese. Next time, I'll add 2 T. oil and see if that helps.

Do you think that Sarah Philips recipe can hold up to a ganache and bavarian cream filling?

Yes, it should work just fine. What helps is freezing the layers, especially if you torte. You can fill and ice while they are frozen. I did this today with my chocolate cake and it was just as moist as Sarah's yellow cake, was so easy.
