Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to keep your bread from sticking.

Step 2: Mix Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat the butter and 1 cup sugar together until light and creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, blending well.

Step 4: Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly dispersed in the batter.

Step 5: Prepare Cream Cheese Layer

For the cream cheese layer, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 egg until smooth and creamy.

Step 6: Layer the Mixture

Pour half of the blueberry batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Next, layer with the cream cheese mixture, and finally, top with the remaining blueberry batter.

Step 7: Bake the Bread

Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 8: Serve

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful layers!

Notes

Ingredient Tips

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent discoloration.
