👩🍳 How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf
Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Pans
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two loaf pans and set aside.
Step 2: Coat the Blueberries
Toss blueberries with the 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps keep them from sinking.
Step 3: Cream the Base
In a large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Combine
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Step 6: Bake
Divide batter evenly between pans. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool
Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
