Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, tossed in 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Vanilla and Eggs: Incorporate the vanilla extract and eggs into the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to form a thick batter without overmixing.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the floured blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute the fruit without crushing them.
- Pour Batter into Pans: Evenly divide the thick batter between the two prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops gently.
- Bake: Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the breads from the oven and let them cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Tossing blueberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
- Check the bread at around 45 minutes; oven temperatures may vary.
- Allow the bread to cool completely for cleaner slices.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- This recipe can be doubled if you want to bake more loaves.
