Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 c butter, softened
3/4 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 c milk
2 c blueberries, fresh
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
FOR THE FILLING
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour one large loaf pan or four mini loaf pans. Set aside.
  • 2. In a bowl, cream softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and egg. Set filling aside.
  • 3. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add salt and vanilla extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Fold in half of dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture, then add milk, and finally the remainder of dry ingredients. Toss blueberries in tablespoon of flour and fold into batter. Your batter will be thick.
  • 4. Spread half of batter into the bottom of prepared loaf pan(s). Using a spatula, spread cream cheese filling on top. Spread the remainder of batter over cream cheese and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes (for mini loaf pans) or 50-55 minutes (for large loaf pan). Allow to cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing. Wrap leftover bread in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
