Ingredients
For the Loaf:
1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) milk
1 ½ cups (225g) fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking)
Optional Glaze:
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugars: Beat butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries to prevent them from sinking.
- Bake the loaf: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Notes
Tossing blueberries in flour prevents sinking.
Frozen blueberries work well without thawing to avoid color bleeding.
Double the recipe to make two loaves, ensuring even baking.
