Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking)

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Make the Bread Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients and milk, then fold in blueberries.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Bread: Pour half of the bread batter into the pan, spread cream cheese mixture, then top with remaining batter.
  5. Bake: Bake for 55-65 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick comes out clean. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  6. Cool: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to the batter.
  • Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
