Blueberry cream cheese Loaf is essentially a thick, moist combination of classic pound cake and cream cheese bread with zesty blueberries — Just whisk in the moist ingredients, add the berries, and bake.
It’s ideal for breakfast, as a midday snack, or in the evening.
Ingredients
Yields: 2 Loaves
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened– Use unsalted butter since the recipe already includes salt. Let it sit out for a bit so it softens and mixes easily.
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup sugar– It adds just the right touch of sweetness to the recipe.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (Tossed in 1 tablespoon flour to stop sinking)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two 9×5 loaf pans generously with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Bring a large bowl and mix the butter with the cream cheese and sugar in it until the mixture becomes smooth.
Step 3: Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time.
Step 4: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt slowly. Mix just until the ingredients are combined — If you overmix, the dough will be stiff.
Step 5: Once everything is mixed, gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Step 6: Pour the mixture (it will be thick and this is normal) evenly into the prepared trays.
Step 7: Bake for about 50 minutes. To check if it’s cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it’s done.
Step 8: Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then remove it from the pan and slice.

Why You’ll Love this Recipe
The cream cheese frosting makes the texture very soft, somewhat like a blueberry cream cheese dessert but not overly sweet. It’s delicious on its own, so you might not even need the cream cheese frosting for topping. A warm slice of this with some coffee is a great way to start the day. It’s comforting, simple, and tastes just like you got it from a bakery.
