Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries tossed in 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
Step 2: Cream the Base
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet batter, mixing just until incorporated.
Step 5: Fold in Blueberries
- Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour (to prevent sinking), then gently fold them into the batter.
Step 6: Fill and Bake
- Divide the thick batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Let the bread cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice once fully cooled and enjoy!
