Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup milk or buttermilk

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed with 1 tablespoon flour)

For the Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

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

  • Prepare the dry ingredients
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • Make the batter
    In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
    Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined. Gently fold in blueberries.

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

  • Assemble the loaf
    Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread cream cheese filling evenly on top. Cover gently with the remaining batter.

  • Bake
    Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent loosely with foil if browning too quickly.

  • Cool
    Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Prevent sinking: Toss blueberries in flour before folding them in.

  • Extra moisture: Buttermilk gives a softer crumb, but regular milk works well too.

  • Clean slices: Chill the bread slightly before slicing for neat layers.

  • Flavor boost: Add lemon zest to the batter for a bright citrus note.
