A spoonful of cream is taken from a cup of cream and put into a cup of coffee. The coffee is then stirred. Then a spoonful of this mixture is put into the cup of cream.

Is there now more cream in the coffee cup or more coffee in the cup of cream?

Coffee is hot, cream is cold - water is less dense when warmer (except near its freezing point).  Also cream is more full of dense proteins and animal by-products then coffee's simple oils and caffeine molecules.  And what kind of jerk would put a spoonful of coffee into a cup of cream - how gross!
