Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted Provides richness and helps with moisture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Mixing
  1. In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid over-mixing.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries to keep them intact.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients, avoid over-mixing, check for doneness with a toothpick, and store wrapped in plastic wrap for freshness.
