🫐 Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf Recipe

🧾 Ingredients:

For the loaf:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup butter (softened)
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries

For the cream cheese filling:

• 200g cream cheese (softened)
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Method:

1. Preheat the oven
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
   Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients
   In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Prepare the batter
   In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
   Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
   Stir in vanilla extract.
   Now add the dry ingredients and milk alternately, mixing gently.

👉 Fold in the blueberries at the end.

4. Make the cream cheese layer
   Mix cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Layer the batter
   Pour half of the batter into the pan.
   Spread the cream cheese mixture on top.
   Add the remaining batter.
   (Optional) Use a knife to create a light swirl.
6. Bake
   Bake for 50–60 minutes.
   Insert a toothpick — if it comes out clean, it’s ready 👍
7. Cool & serve
   Let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
   Then remove, slice, and serve.

💡 Tips:

• If using frozen blueberries, add them directly (don’t thaw).
• For extra juiciness, add more blueberries.
• You can top it with powdered sugar or a glaze.
