1. Prepare the Pan
-
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
-
Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Batter
-
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
-
Stir in vanilla.
-
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, mixing just until combined.
-
Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and gently fold into the batter.
3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture
-
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
-
Add egg and vanilla; mix until creamy.
4. Assemble
-
Pour half of the loaf batter into the prepared pan.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter.
-
Add remaining batter on top.
-
Use a knife to gently swirl for a marbled effect (optional).
5. Bake
-
Bake for 50–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
6. Cool & Serve
-
Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
-
Slice once fully cooled.
