Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf Recipe

Makes: 1 loaf
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 50-60 minutes

Ingredients

For the Loaf:

• 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk (or substitute with milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
• 1 ¼ cups (180g) fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed with 1 tbsp flour)

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Batter

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
   • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Mix in vanilla extract.
   • Add flour mixture in two additions, alternating with buttermilk.
   • Gently fold in blueberries (tossed in flour to prevent sinking).

3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

   • In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Assemble the Loaf

   • Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan.
   • Spoon cream cheese filling over the batter and spread gently.
   • Add the remaining batter on top and smooth it out.

5. Bake

   • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
   • If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 15 minutes.

6. Cool & Serve

   • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
   • Slice and enjoy!

Tips for Success

✔️ Room Temperature Ingredients – Ensures smooth mixing.
✔️ Flouring the Blueberries – Prevents them from sinking.
✔️ Don’t Overmix – Mix just until combined for a tender loaf.
