How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix in the dry ingredients alternately with milk. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Loaf
Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Add the cream cheese mixture, then top with the remaining batter. Lightly swirl if desired.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the loaf cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
