Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cream cheese filling)
- 1 egg (for cream cheese filling)
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for cream cheese filling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and sour cream.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1 tbsp flour until smooth.
- Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon cream cheese mixture over the batter and spread gently. Top with remaining batter.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries without thawing to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Let the bread come to room temperature before serving for best texture and flavor.
