Cream Cheese Blueberry Bread
Description
The Cream Cheese Blueberry Bread features softened cream cheese and butter creamed together with sugar and eggs to create a rich foundation. Tossing the fresh blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them keeps them suspended throughout the batter during baking. The dry ingredients of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt provide structure and leavening, contributing to the bread's light rise and tender crumb. Baking in loaf pans at 350°F for about 45 minutes yields a golden crust around a soft, flavorful interior speckled with juicy blueberries.
This bread works well sliced for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon tea snack. It delivers both fruit sweetness and creamy richness in each bite. It can be served plain or with a smear of butter or cream cheese to complement its texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 c. blueberries fresh
- 1 c. butter softened
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 egg
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl toss blueberries with 2 Tbsp flour. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In another bowl combine the rest of the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly mix into wet batter until combined. Fold in blueberries.
- Pour batter into two greased 9'' x 5'' loaf pans and baked for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaves comes out clean.
- Let rest on wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the outside of the pan and then flip bread out and let cool completely on wire rack.
