Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened) Softened cream cheese mixes more smoothly.
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted) Unsalted butter helps control salt.
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk Substitute with buttermilk or yogurt for tangier flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Fresh blueberries yield the best texture and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until evenly mixed.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with melted butter, then add eggs, vanilla, and milk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
Baking
  1. Bake for 55–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For serving, you can slice thick for brunch, serve warm with yogurt or ice cream, and store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
