  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.
  • Make the crust: Sift flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda into a mixing bowl.
  • Beat both sugars, butter, oil, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually mix in flour mixture until well blended. Spread evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Make the filling and top with fruit: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread over cooled crust and arrange fruit decoratively over top. Refrigerate until glaze is ready.
  • Make the glaze: Stir sugar and cornstarch together in a small saucepan. Whisk in water, orange juice, and lemon juice and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil gently for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Spoon or brush glaze evenly over fruit. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
